<p>Congratulations collegetime18! May I ask where you are located and which reception your son was invited to? I’m hoping my daughter will get an offer . . .</p>
<p>@anotherlamemom we are in SF and he was invited to San Jose. Good luck to your daughter!</p>
<p>Congratulations to all who got Regents!</p>
<p>I believe the applicants who received the Regents packages yesterday lived within one-day mail service from UCSB? If so, a lot more students should receive the packages today.</p>
<p>@SoCalDad2 one poster said they were from southern California, but there are always those who get them first. People getting the invitations for San Jose seemed to get them over a week period.</p>
<p>@SocalDad2, Was the regents selection posted on the myUCSB account?</p>
<p>^^^No change in the admission portal. Still shows decision is pending.</p>
<p>I signed up for the reception on-line per instruction. At the end it says “A confirmation email with event details will be sent to: <my-email-address>”, but I have yet to receive any confirmation. Is this the same for everyone?</my-email-address></p>
<p>@yoyome My D received the confirmation right after rsvp’ing. No delay.</p>
<p>My son received an invitation today in the mail. He didn’t receive any notification by email. </p>
<p>@swagmaster2001 Congratulations!! What part of the state is he from?</p>
<p>@collegevetting We live in So Cal. He received a Chancellor’s Reception invitation for cities: San Jose 3/9, Irvine 3/15, LA 3/16, Wash. DC 3/22 and NYC 3/23.</p>
<p>Thank you for that information, and congratulations to your son!</p>
<p>I received the Regents Scholarship package in the mail yesterday, and the reception invitation in the mail today. There has been no emails or portal update. I live in SoCal and applied as a Chemical Engineering major.</p>
<p>Several students from my daughter’s high school received their invite today. We are in the South Bay (Southern CA). None for my daughter yet : (</p>
<p>i only received the snail mail- no email- and it only lists the locations and tells me to rsvp at one, not invited to any specific date, what does this mean? I’ve checked all of my email folders and nothing at all. im really low stats as well (3.6 GPA 1900 SAT) for both the majors i applied to- EE & ME. is it still a guaranteed admission? Does the location i rsvp matter?</p>
<p>@calimekert no one can be absolutely certain it is an admit. Last year ONE of the receptions, in Chicago, did not admit everyone. Also one year someone reported that while their son was admitted, he did not get his major. Other than that, all the reports here that I’ve seen said at the dinners they announced everyone was admitted.</p>
<p>@collegevetting and anyone else who was wondering. The meeting honoring top applicants from 12-1pm with refreshments and the Chancellor’s reception from 1-4pm are the same event for the same group of students. Check-in simply starts at 12 and the reception part begins later at 1. And it is just snacks for the receptions, no dinner (no info on the ones in Denver and Chicago though, might be dinner, considering the time they begin, see below).</p>
<p>This is the flyer they gave in the email:</p>

<p>Notice it doesn’t include the receptions in Denver or Chicago like the list here does:</p>

<p>Coincidentally, the Chancellor will not be attending the reception in Denver or Chicago either. Therefore I don’t think that they’re Chancellor’s receptions. My guess is that if you were invited to any reception, excluding the ones in Denver or Chicago, you are admitted.</p>
<p>D received invite in the mail today. So Cal, Political Science. UC gpa 3.95, ACT 27.</p>
