ELC refers to Eligibility in Local Context. The top 4 percent of students in each participating California high school class receives this letter that guarantees acceptance to sevearal colleges but does not include UCB or UCLA. Basically if you get the letter and apply to these colleges, you can get your acceptance earlier.
For more information you can visit the official website. http://www.ucop.edu/sas/elc/
Requirements for ELC:
# Graduate from high school with a UC GPA of 3.0 or higher
# Complete all coursework requirements for freshman admission by the end of senior year
# Take two SAT Subject Tests and either the ACT Assessment plus Writing or the SAT Reasoning Test no later than December of senior year of high school.
# Apply to the University by the November 30 application deadline
if you get a letter from a uc (for example, i got one from davis and san diego) saying that you qualify for their school because of the elc does that mean as long as you turn in an application you are guaranteed an acceptance?
