I'll be applying to the engineering school. i dont know yet if i want to do electrical engineering, EECS, or engineering physics though</p>
<p>I am ELC and I want to know about the Regents scholarship. Is that the full tuition one, because Berkeley is probably the school I will end up going to, and I need to know if I can afford it or if id be better off going to a private that gives merit aid. my parents' income is pretty high but it increased drastically when we came to cali a few years ago and they havent saved a dime. what is the process for getting this scholarship and what do you think my chance is of getting it? one essay will be about visiting and learning from my old country while the other will probably be about politics or my encounters with theoretical physics.</p>
