Did anyone else receive the UC Berkeley Merit Scholarship email?

<p>^ I don’t think it matters. I have a 4.0 and didn’t get one either.</p>

<p>I was invited to UCLA Regents and denied from the University (my admission was pending online for 3 weeks after everyone’s decision was released). </p>

<p>So, I wouldn’t take this as any sort of indicator.</p>

<p>On that same note, I was invited this year this merit award. Does anyone know if it’s due on the 24th or later? I’m going to call in Monday.</p>

<p>yeah i dont think it matters. i have 4.0 with alot of extra curricular. had a good personal statement. never got an email. SAD!</p>

<p>just out of curiosity, what major did you apply for whatasunnyday</p>

<p>i guess the leadership award is available for us, transfers, to apply in may (if we get accepted). but the achievement award is due on wednesday</p>

<p>did anybody finish there scholarship essays yet?</p>

<p>Could someone please tell me if there is an income eligibility requirement for the Achievement Award that’s due Wednesday?</p>

<p>i dont think there is, it is a leadership scholarship award.</p>

<p>Oh oops, I actually think there is - $86,000 or less per year.</p>

<p>Thus, I guess wouldn’t qualify.</p>

<p>I don’t think the Leadership Scholarship has an eligibility requirement, but that one is due in May, right?</p>

<p>is one in may for transfer students? if not does anybody have the link for it?</p>

<p>im just gonna half-ass my essays. i have 2 midterms on wednesday and one on thursday. and my daddy+mommy make less than $70,000 so i don’t have to pay tuition anyway. i’m assuming that even if i DO win this scholarship it would be applied to my tuition anyway, and if i don’t win it i’ll get other UC grants to cover it anyway. so meh</p>

<p>“and my daddy+mommy make less than $70,000 so i don’t have to pay tuition anyway.” oh ok so if you parents less than that they dont have to pay tuition?</p>

<p>^yes, well it’s your total household income. so ur income plus ur parents’ income must be less than $70,000</p>

<p>basically if ur cal grant/pell grant dont give u enough to cover ur tuition, then UCs will give u grants to make it up.</p>

<p>Funnypunjabi, there is one in May (the Leadership Scholarship) for transfer students. Here is the link:</p>

<p>@emilsinclair9 thanks :)</p>

<p>@laker so you pretty much dont have to pay for any tutition for all your 4 years?</p>

<p>That’s just how laker does business ;).</p>

<p>^yea it’s bc i’m gonna opt out of my contract after this season so i wont be making no money. i can sign a max deal with the lakers if i wanted to ($100 mil plus). but i’d rather sit on my ass for a while and get financial aid instead for college</p>

<p>I called UCB and the Merit scholarship is not due until later. Anyone who was invited was invited by mistake. I don’t know about the Achievement award because I didn’t get invited to that one.</p>

<p>^u dont have to get invited. u just go to the site and fill it out if u want. it’s open to all berkeley applicants. the regents scholarship is the only one that u have to be invited to apply for</p>
