<p>In the UCLA online admission letter for acceptance, there is a tab on the left hand side that says special events and it links to an invitation only welcome reception. Some people have this special events tab and some people do not. How does UCLA pick which students are invited to the special events? Is it only for top applicants?</p>
<p>You may want to give them a call.....</p>
<p>it's for those invited to the Honors Program. I think it lists the cutoff as 4.1 gpa and 2080 SAT.</p>
<p>If that is the case, then it is likely to apply to anyone in the top 3% of their graduating class as well, since there two ways to qualify for the College Honors Program (GPA & Test Scores or by class rank)</p>
<p>Really? That invitation isn't for everyone?</p>
<p>And here I was thinking I wasn't Honors eligible...are you sure that invitation is only for those invited to UCLA's Honors program? Also, do you have to attend to become eligible for Honors?</p>
<p>I have no idea. Perhaps maryc contacted someone at UCLA and obtained this information?????</p>
<p>I don't think that the welcome day has anything to do with the honors program. I wasn't offered honors, my stats are close, but I don't see anywhere that i was offered honors. I think everyone has that invitation.</p>
<p>there's a separate link for the college honors day for those invited to attend</p>
<p>You do not have to attend to get into the Honors Program. You just have to fill out the application by the due date. My tour guide last year said pretty much anyone who qualifies and fills out the app will get in.</p>
<p>the link varies. those who got honors get link to honors welcome day.</p>
<p>the rest of us get the regular welcome day. =(</p>
<p>but, hey, ellalovesnsync. thanks for that note! now i have some hope for honors, even though apparently they didn't think i was eligible.</p>
<p>You can even get into Honors later on, as long as you have a high enough GPA. So if you did not qualify this quarter, there are plenty of other oppertunities!</p>
<p>Engineers are not invited to the honors program, but some of my friends got invited to the welcome reception as engineers. Is the process of choosing who to invite totally random or is it by the top applicant pool?</p>
<p>ellalovesnsync: Do you know where I can get a copy of the application? I can't attend the orientation because I can't get a ride. :(</p>
<p>not sure if this what you're asking, but info on how to apply for honors is on the new bruins site (linked in your admit letter)</p>
<p>Yup it is. Thanks!</p>
