<p>Well berkeley always has to notify last for everything.</p>
<p>im east bay fremont area with regents, i didnt get an email yet!!! anyone get an email in this district/area?</p>
<p>Awesome :) I got the email at 4:27 PM today!
I should be getting a call soon - Finalist status ftw</p>
<p>My D just heard by email that she's qualified as a finalist. OOS! Will probably be a phone interview. Anybody else OOS hear anything?</p>
<p>how much is the scholarship? does anyone know any stats like how many ppl get it? </p>
<p>oh and i got notified today in the san diego area...</p>
<p>The email says, "You will need to notify UC Berkeley and the Alumni Scholarship Office of your Student Intent to Register (SIR) by May 1st. You will need to notify us separately. Please let us know if you are not planning to attend UC Berkeley."
Does that mean I have to email them back saying that I will be going to cal?</p>

<p>gah. i applied for the alumni scholarship and i became a finalist for the leadership award. i didn't expect to get it and now im freaking out! what can i expect from the interview? i SUCK at interviews cause i get so nervous and i stutter and i end up sounding stupid. i got nominated for the incentive award at berkeley, and after i bombed my interview..i didn't get the award. =/</p>
<p>oh yeah. i got contacted today via email. i live in the bay area.</p>
<p>btw. does anyone know how many finalists are selected to actually receive an award?</p>
<p>I got contacted via email, and I live in Orange County.</p>
<p>Someone by phone should probably call and give us an interview date. I did it for UCLA already.</p>
<p>It says if you can't make the interview, you don't get it! I'm going out of town this month -- what's ironic is that I'm going to the Bay Area for two weekends -- and one is to visit Cal Day!</p>
<p>thank you lamsangel!</p>
<p>I got an e-mail today at 4:28 pm in the afternoon, about an hour and a half ago. I live in San Francisco. </p>
<p>Congratulations to my fellow finalists!</p>
<p>^^ Exactly a minute after mine :)</p>
<p>I got mine at 4:29 PM as well. What kind of questions can we expect?</p>
<p>i got mine too!! i already have regents and hella hope i get this too!!
btw, are the alumni and alumni leadership scholarship the same thing?
what kind of money can i expect that is non-need based?</p>
<p>Alumni did send out an email to any one eligible for an interview.</p>
<p>Alumni is non need based</p>
<p>I cannot speak to the specific questions, but basically, be yourself, be interesting, be memorable</p>
<p>Initially, my D really wanted to go to Cal, but now UCLA Alumni & regents scholarship offers getting too hard to refuse.
I hope the interviews for Cal would be scheduled soon.</p>
<p>Whenever the interview, you should know about the award before you have to commit to a school (20something of April)</p>
<p>Thanks somemom.</p>
<p>I'm a finalist, too! (Surprised!) and I live in the LA County Area.</p>
<p>@somemom - Thanks for all your info about Alum. Schol. Got the email about being a finalist yesterday; but no call yet about interview. Being Spring break next week, was planning a trip to check out the East Coast schools. But don't want to miss the Alum. Scholarship interview for sure! Any idea - if one is not in town do they do the interview over the phone, or do they give a choice of multiple interview days? Would appreciate any info you have on that...
BTW, in south bayarea...</p>
