Did anyone get this e-mail?

<p>I don't need aid, but I got the Alumni Scholarship e-mail. That's more merit-based however.</p>

<p>No, the invitations I was referring to are the R-C scholarship interview invitations that come out in a month or so. Berkeley invites you to the campus and [supposedly] tells you that you were accepted. Kinda like early action, except that everyone who applied to Cal also automatically is an R-C candidate.</p>

<p><em>waits till Feb.</em></p>

<p>whoamg, can you tell me more about the R-C scholarship?</p>

<p>I've been getting freaked out about not receiving the additional information email or the scholarship one, but I looked at last year's posts and apparentally, it's the Regents and Chancellors Scholarship email (that says that you have an interview) that tells you that you got in.</p>

<p>God...why can't March 29 come any sooner?!</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>The Regents and Chancellors Scholarship email tells you if you got in, but the additional information email tells you if that decision was already made.</p>

<p>So how do you qualify for the Regents and Chancellors scholarship?! Do you have to fill out an application? what kind of people get it?</p>

<p>The UC application is the scholarship application; there are 40,000 people automatically competing for it. Usually the top ~3%(is that accurate??) percent of the applicant pool are invited to Berkeley to stay overnight, submit a teacher letter of recommendation, and get interviewed. Then about 60% of those people get $2500/yr + other small benefits.</p>

<p>When do these scholarship emails/invites go out?</p>

<p>Regents/Chancellor's at all the UC's is basically driven by SAT's/SAT II scores. You don't have to apply, notification of eligibility will start coming out for the different UC's soon. If you get it at one UC though doesn't mean you will get it at all of the UC's you apply to.</p>

<p>Do you have to be in EAOP, Puente, Upward bound, etc. etc. to qualify for regents?</p>

<p>No, you it's merit based on high SAT's and high SAT II's</p>

<p>So SAT scores tend to drive it? I have pretty good scores (3960/4000) but my EC's are weaker (although I could highlight the two or three good ones)... I kinda need the money :P</p>

<p>What the hell kind of test is out of 4000?</p>

<p>Maybe whomag is including his SAT subject test scores in there?</p>

<p>he's including the 2400 SAT reasoning plus two SAT subject tests...so 4000</p>

<p>3960 wow congrats dude</p>

<p>They usually send out the supplimental appliction to people who indicated that they have special needs (ADD, etc.) to give you a chance to explain more. I know no one who filled out the supplimental application and ended up being accepted but I am sure that's just on account of a small sample size.</p>

<p>I received a supplemental questionnaire...although special needs may be one of the possible categories for the questionnaire, mine was based on a specific extracurricular (art, music, dance, etc.) and they wanted to know more about my level of involvement in it.</p>

<p>sunny903, When did you get this questionnaire?</p>

<p>I received it on January 31. They only give you 10 days to complete it. It seems to me that the questionnaires are sent out as the applications are reviewed.</p>

<p>I was kind of hoping for one. I thought I was borderline, being out-of-state and such. I guess it's all over in 2 months anyway, no point in worrying now.</p>
