<p>I know that ELC stands for Eligibility in the Local Context (ELC), and that 4% of top high school students in a class are guaranteed admission into a UC Campus… </p>
<p>Anyway…
1). Do they send you a letter of notification, if you reach this top 4%? If so, when???
2). Can you select what campus you would like to attend?
3). When are the ELC decisions out?</p>

<p>1) Mid August - UC system will officially let you know.
The high schools send in the names of their top 4% to the UC system by July 17, so you might be able to find out from your high school if you can contact them during the summer.</p>
<p>2) you just do the regular application and pick which UCs you want for your application, but some schools (Irvine, Riverside, varies per year) will send you a letter before the application deadline saying you are guaranteed admission (Irvine depends on your major, many exclusions to the guarantee).</p>
<p>3) ELC Decisions - to my knowledge, each UC includes them in thier regular admission notification process.</p>
<p>Note: on this page that it only your 10th and 11th grade UC-approved a-g courses that go into the calculation of the top 4% at your school. So you can't go by your school rank to try to guess if you are in top 4%.</p>
<p>Also, just becasue your high school considered a course as honors and gives it an extra point for GPA, doesn't mean that the UC system gives it the extra point in calculating thier GPA.</p>
<p>Find on this page for your high school, what courses count as a-g and also which ones get the extra GPA point:
