"Hi, today i got a card in the mail from UCSB saying i was accepted to the chancellors reception.
Does this mean I am accepted? it said it was “honoring top applicants”?"

"From the UCSB FAQ What is the purpose of the UCSB Chancellor’s Receptions?

The receptions provide you and your family with the opportunity to meet UCSB faculty, staff and alumni who will introduce you to opportunities on campus. Our goal is to inform you about the excellent opportunities for academic, personal and professional growth at UCSB so that you can make an informed college choice.

Does this mean I have been admitted? Who was invited to the reception?

Your invitation does not indicate that you have been admitted. However, invitations were only sent to our highest achieving applicants in select regions."

"Two years ago, we went to the Chancellors Reception in San Jose. The first thing that Henry Yang, the Chancellor of UCSB, said was that every student in the audience was accepted to UCSB."
