UCI staffer Sheri Ledbetter received this letter from a fifth-grader asking about the Anteater campus. If this student ends up attending UCI as a freshman, it would be in the fall of 2031. If you’re reading today’s Digest on your phone or otherwise can’t view the photo, here’s what the letter said:
My name is (redacted) and I am currently a fifth grader at (redacted) Elementary in [redacted] CA. My teacher suggests we start planning our university path goals now as she demands we attend in the future. I am writing to your university because UC Irvine seems like a cool place and this university focuses on my interests (what interest specifically?). Also, getting into this university would make my family proud. Please let me know what I need to do to get into your university in the future. Also, if possible, please send some merchandise as motivation. Thank you for your time.
