<p>I looked around at post last year about this. </p>

<p>If you received a regent invite and go to the interview…</p>

<p>They basically tell you unofficially that you are in.</p>

<p>So CONGRATS to everyone who received an invite.</p>

23

<p>Congrats to those who received a regent invite. Dam those 4 B’s my first semester.</p>

<p>perhaps you left off the ‘s’ in https</p>

25

<p>I got it at UCLA. I have a 4.0</p>

<p>The link says “Submission of the Regents Scholarship application does not automatically guarantee admission to UCLA”</p>

<p>An interesting choice of words, don’t you think?</p>

26

<p>Letter in the mail from UCLA today. Nothing from Berkeley. </p>

<p>Regents does not guarantee acceptance. The school can still reject you. I remember it happened to a couple of people last year.</p>

27

<p>Don’t they just automatically select people with 4.0’s to be invited? </p>

<p>Usually you’d be rejected if you apply to an impacted major and don’t have all the prereqs done. Though I do remember reading someone with all prereqs done, 4.0, good ECs, and a regents scholar invite. I guess nothing is certain until you get the official letter of acceptance.</p>

28

<p>I have all the prereqs but I am a civil engineering major.</p>

<p>well yes the letter starts with “because of your oustanding academic record” so naturally it would be based on your GPA.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure Cal only gives it to CC only students? I am half CC half UC, and UCLA treats them the same admission wise. I was just surprised to be invited because I have 4 year college credit…</p>

29

<p>I didn’t get it and I got a 3.93. i hope it arrives tomorrow :(</p>

30

<p>@rpiction: i applied as communications major and i did not finish all the prereqs and i still got the letter for ucla. 4.0 GPA btw. and just bc we got this letter doesn’t mean we’re accepted. alot of people from last yr were invited to apply for regents but got rejected…</p>

<p>for the berkeley regents, did u guys get an actual letter from the mail or just an email?</p>

31

<p>I’ve never been so jealous. Sheesh…</p>

32

<p>I wonder if only CC transfers are eligible. It used to say that on the UCLA website but I don’t see that anymore. Hmmm.</p>

<p>Edit: found it. Only CC transfers are eligible. " • Transfer Applicants: Requires a GPA of 4.0 in all coursework. Must enter UCLA as a junior transfer from a California community college." Dumb if ya ask me.</p>

33

<p>Not to be a bearer of bad news, but this invite (I’m pretty sure) is based purely on GPA. If you have a 4.0, you had a good chance at getting into Cal/UCLA anyways. It is not like the admissions board reviews your application and thought you stood out. You just have a high GPA, which is basically what admissions is based on anyways. Unfortunately, thanks to the holistic review process at UCLA/CAL, just because you have a 4.0 does not mean you will be admitted.</p>

34

<p>^</p>

<p>That’s where I come in. 2.42 hs GPA FTW.</p>

35

<p>^They don’t care about your high school GPA…</p>

36

<p>Holy crap I got the invite! And I thought they only gave it to community college transfers…they must have just changed that policy! Super excited!</p>

37

<p>@rpicton: thanks! i did leave the ‘s’ off. haha</p>

38

<p>Dang… I’m kinda scared! I have a 3.98 GPA and I didn’t get either invite! Are only certain majors invited? I’m a math major.</p>

39

<p>Those of you who were already invited to the Cal regent’s scholarship: did your myBerkeleyApp page change before you applied to the scholarship? Did it change after you applied to the scholarship?</p>

<p>Regarding my last post… I now see that the myBerkeleyApplication website DOES change when you get invited… Mine unfortunately hasn’t changed…</p>
