calling current ucla students: just got regents invite today...good sign?

<p>well it does say that they will look at the grades again in selecting who will receive the scholarship, so they would find out anyways.</p>

<p>btw, im kinda excited from what you guys said about this. i might be a bruin!</p>

<p>i hope youre not. i dont like guys named jason.</p>

<p>Congrats to those who got the letter!</p>

<p>Anyone get it in NorCal? I have a glimmer of hope that I'll get it...but my stats are mediocre (1920 SAT, 4.1 UC GPA).</p>

<p>I'm in Norcal and I got it. I think you need like 2100+ SAT and a nice GPA.</p>

<p>Nice to meet you!</p>

<p>Yeah, that's understandable... Oh well, guess I'll have to wait 'til April.</p>

<p>welll....i got it...but im from SoCal. and my stats arent that great either.</p>

<p>i had a 1910 but a 30 on my ACT..and like a 4.39 weighted GPA..but i have somewhat good ECs and volunteer stuff...and my essay was bomb (or so one of the UCLA admissions counselors told me) but yeah..</p>

<p>^Why/how did they tell you that?</p>

<p>i sent it to her (she's really good friends with my counselor) and she read both of my personal statements. one of them made her cry, and the other one made her clap and hug me. so yeah..they were good. lol</p>

<p>Dang so I guess if I didn't get it by now I should stop hoping?
(I have a 2250 SAT and am rank 3/270. I don't know my UC gpa off the top of my head.)</p>

<p>I got it a few days ago. 2390 SAT, 4 AP tests, top 10% in a class of 500-600, UC GPA is like...4.5 I think. </p>

<p>Not many volunteer hours (Maybe 100 total), one leadership position in FNHS, but I've been in Math Club for 3 years, and Science Bowl for 2. </p>

<p>My essays basically sucked. I wrote them in like...2 days...</p>

<p>Yay I got my letter too!
4.2 GPA, 5 AP tests (all 5s) , 2280 SAT. Top 1-2% in the class (around 650) and focused ECs. </p>

<p>I read on their website that only 100 out of the 1000 kids they invite actually get the Regents though :(</p>

<p>Have all the letters been mailed out yet? </p>

<p>When did you get yours athenegoddess?</p>

<p>I got mine last week. The day after getting my USC acceptance letter !!
My dad joked that they were competing to see where I would end up at ;)</p>

<p>2 days to write essays is pretty good... lol</p>

<p>why does usc send on acceptance letters now?</p>

<p>its for ppl w/ scholarships.</p>

<p>Do the scholarships vary? For people who receive their acceptances now, do they all get the same amount?</p>

<p>I got it but I was just curious if you can only get it in the letters and sciences school or if people in engineering can get it too?</p>

<p>Also, when they said they want two copies of the recommendation letter does that mean they want two sent in the same envelope, or two seperate envelopes sent (my teacher doesn't want to fax them).</p>

<p>do you guys think that they're still mailing the letters out?</p>

<p>can someone post up the url for the website?</p>

<p>lol^ gunna try to submit one anyways without beinge a regents invitee..haha</p>
