Freshman Alumni and URM Scholarships

<p>I got the email to apply for both scholarships and I did. Does this mean that I have a good shot of being accepted?</p>

<p>I am unsure what scholarships you are speaking of. Can you be a little more specific?</p>

<p>Did you by chance get the Jackie Robinson scholarship? I received an email about the Jackie Robinson scholarship and I am an URM (I assume you are also?). My teacher says its a good sign if you got the Jackie Robinson scholarship, but I am worried that they might of just sent it to every URM applicant.</p>

<p>It was for both the Freshman Alumni Scholarship and the Dr. Ralph J Bunche Freshman Alumni Scholarship. And yes i am a URM, I am mexican.</p>

<p>I was asked to apply to both also, but I’m Asian? Anyways, I ran out of time and only applied to the Freshman Alumni one, since I figured I wouldn’t really be considered a URM.</p>

<p>ya so should this give me hope? or is it just something they send out?
ucla is my dream school!</p>

<p>My D got the Jackie Robinson letter (which requires financial need, if I recall correctly) and was not admitted. I think she got an alumni one, and the “urm outreach” phone call appointment as well.</p>

<p>Yes, I’m still bitter. </p>

<p>Good luck though!.</p>

<p>ok thank you!</p>

<p>I also applied for the alumni scholarship but I didn’t get a final confirmation email. Did anyone else? I called the scholarship number and left a message on Wednesday.</p>

<p>i got the confirmation email. it just reminded me about letters of rec which were already submitted</p>

<p>Yea, I just got an email that stated my app was received and they would send me a final confirmation when my recs are submitted. However, the recs were already submitted at the time I submitted my app and I never got a final confirmation that my file is complete.</p>

<p>thats the same with me. i feel like its fine tho</p>

<p>The Alumni Scholarships are handled through the Alumni Association and have zero impact on your admission status.</p>
