Every applicants can apply so not all who applied for this scholarship were “invited”.</p>
<p>I was just wondering for the people who got the Leadership email invite from Berkeley. Are you freshman applicants or transfers???</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Did anyone get the Leadership and Achievement emails for a second time tonight? </p>
<p>Yes, we got it again tonight.</p>
<p>@JCC’sMom is your son or daughter a perspective freshman or transfer applicant??</p>

<p>My son received the leadership award invite for the second time tonight. Never received the Achievement one. He’s a perspective freshman. </p>
<p>My S is a perspective freshman</p>

Achievement Scholarship are for low income.</p>
<p>My son received both leadership and achievement invites for the second time. I noticed the wording of today’s email was a little different than the ones a week ago. He did not indicate family income level on the application so they couldn’t have known he doesn’t qualify for the achievement one.</p>
<p>The UC application does ask for family income. You can review your son’s application when you log-on at <a href=“UC Application - Message from the system”>UC Application - Message from the system;
<p>^The question is optional and I know he definitely did not answer it.</p>
<p>Family income should be $86000 or below to be qualified for Achievement. </p>

<p>I also received both invites for the second time last night.</p>
<p>Same here. Maybe they are sending out the invitations in waves and forgot that they had already sent some to certain applicants?</p>
<p>My mother affords me along and her total income is below 40k each year for sure. However, I have not received the Achievement Award invite at all
What more interesting is that my SAT score is low enough to make the AOs throw up probably, but I have got the Leadership invite for twice.
Other than score and gpa, I’m a student who dropped out from high school for two years and came from another country for only one and half years. I immediately got a gpa UW over 3.5 last year. I am the only ESOL student in my American school’s history who got a speech role in school musical, being a football player (intend to proceed this in college) and a wrestler, Senior Class Rep. in student government, jumped into English AP class right after taking ESOL classes last year, and chairs in MUN conferences. Also, I’m a trilingual in Mandarin, English, and a language that only 20000people can speak around the world. I have experience in protecting my language and my essay was about seeking for ethnicity identity in front of the massive Chinese influence.
I deeply know that if I getting a school like Berkeley, it’s because of my massive experiences. If not, its because of my low enough SAT score.</p>
<p>“Did anyone get the Leadership and Achievement emails for a second time tonight?”</p>
<p>We (meaning my child 
) didn’t get it the first time … or the second. </p>
<p>I have a question about the leadership award. It doesn’t make sense to me that many many students it’s not all students are invited to apply and yet the leadership award committee or the group of people who is reading these award applications has no control over admission. So I assume they spend a great deal of time reading and reviewing and carefully deciding on these awards and then maybe many of the people they decide to get these awards are ultimately not admitted by the admissions department. Seems like a waste of time to me. Wouldn’t it make more sense if they actually did this leadership award after admission decisions were made so that they only have the pool of admitted students to decide from? Am I missing something? </p>
<p>What you say is true … some students that are earmarked as receiving the award (if they attend) may not end up being admitted to the university. The reason they do it early is so the kids know if they will be getting any additional scholarship money when making their decision where to SIR. I know what you mean, though … it’s more essays to write, and you might not even get admitted. BTW, the same is true of UCLA’s alumni scholarship. </p>
<p>The scholarship committees get admissions decisions a little in advance so they can pull the applications of students that didn’t get in. I’m guessing that over the years a few might have slipped by them, and those are the ones you hear about. </p>
<p>My son says almost everyone in his class has gotten the invite… I am having hard time convincing him to submit the application. He is convinced that it is an e-mail that had gone to everyone. I think this invitation is only for a selected group; I think it is very likely [high probability] that those who received the invite may also get admission to cal…</p>
<p>I can’t find any information on kids who got<br>
(1) the leadership invite & admission, OR
(2) the leadership invite & NO admission.</p>
