<p>Oh darn. All right, thanks! I guess I haven't heard anyone from my school receive it, but a few have gotten the Cal Regent's invite.</p>
<p>are the regent's invitations based on exceptional sat scores/ gpa or do they sometimes invite applicants with alright scores but outstanding extracurriculars?</p>
<p>I would tend to believe that Regents does have a lot to do with good scores/grades (though extracurriculars are impt too). However, if you have outstanding extracurriculars but not so outstanding stats, I'd look into the Alumni Scholarship which cares more about the ec's.</p>
<p>Any transfer students get this? ...or is this just for incoming fresh?</p>
<p>Wow!!! Some of you have VERY IMPRESSIVE STATS!!! :D</p>
<p>I got it a while ago but lost the letter and found it on Feb 13. -.-;; <em>sigh</em> I'm definitely doing the Berkeley Regent's Scholarship.</p>

<p>i'm a transfer student and i got the same letter. does the same 1.5% thing apply or is it different for transfers?</p>
<p>i'm a current UCLA freshman regents scholar...
congrats to all you guys who got the invitation. i don't know if the deadline has passed already or not, but don't treat this essay lightly. it's not just another college essay, it could mean a minimum of $5500 a year, guys. for some people, it means more than $10,000 a year. plus you get GUARANTEED parking!!! if you know anything about UCLA, you should know that a parking permit is pure gold (although it probably costs its weight in gold too).
so take it seriously!</p>
