Is anyone not sure if they should've got REGENTS? What's profile for those who did?

<p>I have a 4.0 GPA - that's it. I didn't really join any clubs in my 2yr college and did a petite amount of volunteering and such...</p>

<p>Is that why I didn't get a letter like others?</p>

<p>I feel kinda bummed. The whole purpose of my 4.0 was to get large sums of scholarship cash for UC's and I got passed over. My major is film so GPA really didn't matter as much as others except for CAL...I felt all the hard work from my "rebirth" of my lazy high school days were kinda pointless. I really didn't have to stress and sacrifice and enslave myself for those A's... </p>

<p>What's the profile of a REGENT's scholar for those who got a letter?</p>

<p>i don’t think anyone got regents for Cal yet. for ucla, i got one with no volunteer service</p>

<p>Do you know if they are done in regards to UCLA invites?</p>

<p>:(</p>

<p>I think they’re done at this point. The due date for the essay, letter of recommendation, and transcripts (must be in the office by) is Mar 25th. The latter two take time to accomplish, especially if you want a solid LOR and non-rushed transcripts. (though even rush could take a few weeks).</p>

<p>Appreciate what you’ve learned, you go to school to learn… not to get grades</p>

<p>only 300-350 transfer applicants are invited.</p>

<p>There are over 14,000 CC applicants… and a total of over 17,000 applicants. (UCLA)</p>

<p>just look ahead to decisions 2 months from now.</p>

<p>hmm…i thought they simply send it to everyone with a 4.0…it doesn’t seem like they could have already gone through everyone’s app before they sent out the letters, and a 4.0 is the only thing they say they look for, for an invitation…</p>

<p>I miswrote that. Learning is my BIGGEST priority in college. However, getting the A’s was second. I definitely learned a lot and I am deeply proud of that, but take in consideration the many all-nighters I did for assignments/classes that I particularly didn’t care too much about and would have been happy/satisfied to have received a B irks me somewhat…</p>

<p>I definitely learned a lot in my CC.</p>

<br>

<p>Yeah…I don’t really know what their process…It’d be funny if they just put all names in a giant lottery wheel and pick the first 350 names of applicants…;)</p>

<p>@Oquendo, yeah, I didn’t want you thinking those two years were a waste.</p>

11

<p>i feel your pain about not getting an invite for UCLA regents.</p>

<p>I’m a 4.0 student and I’m super involved at school…student government, clubs, student state senate, internships but nope nothing came in the mail for me :(</p>

12

<p>^that makes me feel extra special for receiving one w/o any significant ECs. i do feel sorry for u tho. but just a little</p>

13

<p>yeah i got a 4.0 as well and did not receive the letter or anything</p>
