Both are very great schools that offeres a variety of opportunities. I’m going to face a tough decision in the next 2 weeks.

<p>General Comments: Got admitted undeclared instead of to engineering. This pretty much shut the door on UCSB. My parents won’t fund me moving to CA to be undeclared! Been accepted to engineering at UT-Austin and Washington University in St. Louis - as well as a few safety schools. Still waiting on USC and UCLA. So that CA dream is still alive! Best wishes to all!</p>
<p>@dietz199 and ILikeScience.</p>
<p>After you have logged in, at the top of the decision page, it should have the following if you were admitted into the honors program:</p>
<p>Admission Status: You’re Admitted!</p>
<p>Admitted Major: Philosophy (for my son)
College of Letters and Science</p>
<p>College Honors Program: Congratulations, you are admitted.</p>
<p>With regards to how one knows he/she has been selected for the honors program:</p>
<p>Between the name (and major) and the Statement of Intent to Register Info is this:</p>
<p>“College Honors Program: Congratulations, you are admitted.”</p>
<p>@Dual…thanks for the info. S was admitted to College of Engineering ME. At the local chancellors receptions we were told that if you were invited you would be invited to the engineering honors college. We don’t see the College Honors Program notice. I wonder if engineering does it differently or if the reception info was wrong.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the perks of the Honors College? Wonder if I should start another thread with this question.</p>
