@Nhatrang thanks! I can share with you my S2’s stats: ACT 36, Sat Math/Physica 800/800, 4.6 weighted GPA, captain of varsity sports, short term overseas missions every summer. But keep in mind, he’s just one single sample. After the notice, he went through an interview where he was asked mostly personal, not technical, questions. The final result came out, I think, at regular acceptance in March. The biggest perk for him as a regents scholar, outside of the money, is to enroll in classes earlier. He’s also a regents scholar at UCLA, but not UCSD and UCSC, so I guess each school has didffferng criteria.
