<p>I got some invites from Cal / UCLA, but didn't hear anything from San Diego. Does UCSD grant scholarship without any separate applications? </p>
<p>Just wondering...</p>
<p>I’m guessing you’re referring to the Regents and Alumni scholarships so I’ll just address those.</p>
<p>Not sure why UCSD does it this way, but Regents only considers academic achievements and is based off you score a certain amount using the (UC GPA x 1000) + [(SAT I + SAT IIA + SAT IIB) * 0.8] formula. Not sure what the amount is nowadays though.</p>
<p>The Alumni scholarship here is only for Regents scholars (bummer for the rest of the admits) and they’ll receive an invitation to apply after getting in.</p>
<p>That being said, if you’re worried about the money angle rather than the library/scheduling perks, rest assured that UCSD will provide adequate grant aid to meet the difference between your EFC and what the federal/state government offers you. I didn’t qualify for the Cal grant the past two years and UCSD has basically covered the entire difference.</p>
<p>@MiqueMaus: Did you live on campus? Did your financial aid help with that at all?</p>
