<p>Good luck everyone! Seriously though, 250 words is NOTHING. I forgot the deadline and had to do it the night before. Pumped it out in about two hours.</p>
<p>FYI: If you do get Regents (which I believe you find out about when official acceptances are posted online in March), you are invited to an overnight program with many different dates to choose from, as well a reception. Didn't do the overnight, but the reception had amazingly good food, so I would recommend it :)</p>
<p>I'm already at UCLA but I have a question-- did ya'll have to apply to get the Regents Scholarship or are you automatically eligible upon submitting your UC application?</p>
<p>Automatically eligible to be considered, then you have to fill out an application to actually get the scholarship.</p>
<p>I got the letter a couple days ago and I consider my stats very high. Just to make sure--does this mean FOR SURE FOR SURE that we'll get into UCLA? I don't want to get my hopes up...</p>
<p>Also, what exactly are you offered as a Regents Scholar? How large of a scholarship are we talking about?</p>
<p>5500$/year + other benefits..see fao.</p>
<p>I got the Invite as well.</p>
<p>Maximum UC Weighted GPA
2240 SAT I
790 US History 760 Math IIC</p>
<p>Pres./Capt. of Debate with Awards
VP in many other political/student leadership clubs</p>
<p>2 Interships, one with a politician and one with a startup company.</p>
<p>Damn, top 1.5%</p>
<p>That's pretty good.</p>
<p>But too bad only 100 out of the 800 or so get selected =(</p>
<p>I lost my letter. I know I received one, and I was bummed because I don't want to write any more college essays, but I can't remember where I put it. Where do we send the essay? What exactly do we put in it? Just what class we'd like to take and why?</p>
<p>Wow, at my school I know there are at LEAST 10 people who received this invite. Makes me feel not so special anymore -_-.</p>
<p>I didn't get a letter. Is there a chance that I might still get one? Is there a website to check to see if you got it?</p>
<p>and... I'm from Wisconsin....</p>
<p>Well it's not actually out of 800, i'm sure not everyone applies for the scholarship, until I came here and saw that it was a pretty big deal I was like whatever. So it's probably more like 100 out of 500 or 600. I'll be a bit more specific with my stats since it might help some of the rest of you</p>
