<p>I find it strange that I was admitted into the honors program, but I did not receive the regent’s scholarship. Is the regent’s scholarship really that much more selective than the honors program?</p>

<p>I think Regents scholarships go to top 1%.</p>

<p>I’m in the same situation., and I believe Regents is much more selective :)</p>

<p>This page says that “Regents Scholars are generally within the top four percent of the admitted class.” That would put them in the top 2% of those who apply.</p>

<p>Also, “Regents Scholars and selected high achieving students will be invited to participate in the University Honors Program”, which suggests that you can be Honors but not Regents.</p>

<p>OK, after more research, appears there are about 200 freshmen in Honors and about 90 freshmen Regents Scholars, if I am interpreting the numbers right. About 115 freshmen were invited to join Honors, and the rest applied:</p>

<p>So if you were invited to join Honors but were not Regents, you are in a small group – about 20 to 25 students. You just missed being Regents.</p>

<p>Same here. UHP but no Regents Scholarship. I joined the Regents Scholar Society (RSS) though, and nobody called me out on this. They announced sign ups for RSS at a general UHP event so I figured it was open to everyone there. I paid the due eventually too, so this shouldn’t be a problem right?</p>
