I received an invitation to the ucsb reception honoring top applicants and have read that this guarantees admission. I also saw in one thread that there was one reception in Chicago two years ago where students were not all accepted and that out of state students are not guaranteed admission from the invitation. I love in New York and was wondering if my invitation guaranteed my acceptance to ucsb.
Post on the already established thread:
