<p>ELC is not the top 4% anymore and is pretty much useless (IMO). There is no more guarantee to campus with ELC except Merced I believe. I work as a college counselor in a high school-it is a good thing to get the supplement. Like someone mentioned, you are not rejected yet. Just MAKE SURE you send your counselor the link if they asked for additional counselor info. The student gets this request, not the counselor. We have a 50% placement rate on students that receive supplements. Last year we had a student who received one from Cal and UCLA and got in to Cal only. One interesting thing, and it could be a total coincidence so none of you get your hopes up, students who have been asked by the o/s alumni agency to apply for their scholarship have mostly been accepted.</p>
<p>Good luck. One of my own kids attends UCLA. It is brutally difficult and competitive(science major), but rewarding.</p>
