<p>Today, I received a letter from the engineering department and there was one part that stated “On behalf of HSSEAS, it gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Faculty of HHSEAS has recommended your admission. In the near future, more information about your acceptance will be contained in a formal letter of admission from the Office of Undergraduate Admission and Relations with Schools (UARS).”</p>
<p>I just wanted to make sure but does this mean I got in?</p>
<p>someone in admissions told me that its not 100% guarantee but its close</p>
<p>Congrats my fellow Ram, you’re admiteed to the HSSEAS. :)</p>
<p>The letter does not explicitly guarantee that everyone who received the letter is ACCEPTED. I think that there is about ~1% who ultimately do not who don’t get in because of poor performance in 2nd half of year, dropping classes, special circumstances, false information on application, voluntary withdrawal.</p>
<p>However, you are an ordinary student so I hope you consider UCLA.</p>
<p>If you choose to do EECS at UCB, I would advice you to learn SCHEME, Java, and C++ in that order to do well in that program. Best of luck.</p>
<p>congrats callmegoose, if you don’t mind what were your stats? im really curious if holistic panned out (ihope)</p>
<p>Hmm…early.</p>
<p>Congratulations. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>@BoelterHall: I’m probably going to take up Berkeley’s offer to EECS unless UCLA or a private school piles on the award money, so I was looking at the courses offered. I was thinking of leaving off Scheme until college because it seems like it’s for entry courses only, and it’s only taught for the sake of teaching functional programming and lambda calculus. Java, I’ve got that down to the point where I’m going to try to hold an internship at Eclipse over the summer. I’ve done a little bit of work with C, but should I be moving to C++? From what I’ve heard, if you care about OOP/D, you use Java, if you care about speed and power, then you go with C. C++ is probably the most prevalent language, but if I’m at the point where I’m an entry level professional Java programmer, will my learning C allow me to be able to combine the syntax of C and the ideology of Java to quickly learn C++?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yes. Ask flopsy for more information.</p>
<p>so letter = admission, i wanna be sure before i tell parents</p>
<p>if an engineering applicant didn’t get this letter does that mean that they did not get in? 
*****</p>
<p>I got one too. I applied Chemical Engineering.
Now I have to wait for UCB and privates.</p>
<p>So basically, am I in? Am I in unless I slack off and get rescinded?</p>
<p>askwise, please post yourstats, preferabbly in the other thread for stats</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Please refer to post 3.</p>

</p>
<p>If not by late March, then no.</p>
<p>I got the same letter last year and was accepted…ur in don’t worry</p>
<p>hehe I got one today too ^^
congrats, guys!</p>
<p>is there anyone that has gotten this letter before (like last year) and not get in?</p>
<p>You’ll never know, to be frank… Everyone who was rejected from UCLA last year has permanently disappeared from the UCLA College Confidential forum a few days after receiving their rejection letter. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Also, I’d like to point out that past admissions trends do not favor your guaranteed admission. Although ~2000 engineering applicants received likely letters this year, only ~1500 engineering applicants were actually admitted last year… There’s no way that UCLA can enlarge its number of admits by ~33% this year, just to accomodate everyone who got the letter, because there’s just not enough space in the School of Engineering. Sweet dreams, everyone. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>why are you so bitter?</p>
