<p>I went out and grabbed my mail today to see if I received my Berkeley envelope (which I did...woot!), but I also had another 8.5 x 11 envelope, but this was another one from UCLA different than the one I got from them last week.</p>

<p>Inside was a pretty nice "award" that actually looks like a diploma. The enclosed letter had praise for my hard work, accomplishment, etc....you know. But the diploma looking award was actually pretty sweet.</p>

<p>Anyway, I get the feeling that items like these are mainly designed to sell you on attending that particular school (I had a 2nd one from UCSB as well today, for a total of three 8.5 x 11 UC envelopes in one day).</p>

<p>Anyone else get the UCLA envelope today?</p>

<p>Hey I got that too! I thought pretty much what you did but it's true, the award looks great.</p>

3

<p>I got the 2nd UCSB and the UCLA award today. For those of you who got the award, what were your GPAs?</p>

4

<p>Is that the thing for the scholarship recognition award? I got one too. Free money's a pretty sweet way to sell you on a school, I think. ;P</p>

5

<p>i got it also!and the scholars day thing!</p>

6

<p>Should I be worried that I don't have mine yet? I'm showing an amount on ePal, though. :(</p>

7

<p>I got one too, it looks pretty nice. Too bad im going to Cal.</p>

8

<p>whaat how did you guys get this?</p>

9

<p>Didn't get one. But I got a call for an invite. He also asked me if I received the letter. Don't worry rshaan. It's probably on its way to your mailbox.</p>

10

<p>It talked about my great financial need or w/e...you'd think they'd offer more with talk like that. : P</p>

</p>

<p>yes, yes...very worried</p>

12

<p>Damn. I was going to pick UCLA over Cal because of the far better aid package, but if they take away the Scholarship, I might as well go to Cal instead :(</p>

13

<p>Why do you think they'd take it away?</p>

14

<p>Well, it's noted in my ePal, but I haven't gotten the letter yet. Also, I updated my FAFSA and my Expected Family Contribution went up (even though my parents still aren't helping me out with college costs, haha).</p>

<p>I don't know. I guess I'm just paranoid :D</p>

15

<p>You're fine fasterfirefox. It was just something trying to sell people on attending the campus. It had nothing to do with being accepted/rejected/whatever.</p>

16

<p>I got this in the mail today as well. Can anyone explain what this is exactly? Is it a scholarship or financial aid? It's something legit, right? Cause according to the FAO site, I'm going to be getting a lot of money for free.</p>

17

<p>still nothing for meee... can ppl post locations? i'm torrance, ca -- 30min from UCLA</p>

18

<p>I got mine! It's legit, looks like, even though the paper notification doesn't state the amount. I'm in Burbank, maybe 45 minutes away with moderate traffic.</p>

19

<p>Guys, it's a marketing gimick. I got one too last year. I think that it's sent to everyone who was accepted who has applied for financial aid. It does look cool though (I admit it.... I kept mine even though I'm at Cal).</p>

20

<p>has anybody gotten it who hasn't done a FAFSA?</p>

<p>me >> no fafsa, no letter</p>
