<p>I thought I might be a finalist for UCLA regents. But it seems they have already sent the letters out so I guess I am out of luck. </p>
<p>Is it just a numbers game or is it random? </p>
<p>I have 2270 SAT and 4.1 UC GPA. Is this around the average of those who are finalist for Regents?</p>
<p>nope. (that is to say, I don't think there is an average). from what I've read, Regents is not really stats-based, as people with super high stats don't always get selected to be finalists, but people with decent stats sometimes do.</p>
<p>^^ exactly. It's definitely not a numbers game, nor is it random.</p>
<p>the regents seems to be more unpredictable than ivy league decisions</p>
<p>i thought i would have been in the running too, but, nope! and i had a 2240 SAT and 4.3 GPA. so go figure ;)</p>
<p>make sure you apply for alumni, though. i didn't because at the time UCLA wasn't where i thought i'd go so i ignored it... and now i greatly regret that! at least with alumni, you have more control over whether or not you get the scholarship!</p>
<p>Friend received one with these stats:
SAT I: 2370
GPA: UW 4.0, W 4.6
Class rank: 1/600
lot of ECs and a few leadership positions</p>
<p>Hmm, I know someone with these stats who got it:</p>
<p>SAT I: 2010
UC GPA: 4.1
Class rank: 4/350
A few dedicated ECs with leadership positions</p>
<p>i didn't get regents either. My stats were:
ACT: 33
UC GPA: 4.2 something
Rank: top 10? not sure</p>
<p>I have a lot of national level awards and i think i had around 200+ hours of community service. I have more stuff but this is just a quick overview. Oh well</p>
<p>i got regents for both la and cal and my stats are not that good
i just do a lot
so i guess its more about how well rounded you are</p>
<p>@liyana179: I have a 2230 SAT and 4.25 UC GPA and I didn't get it! :p</p>
<p>I didn't get it. 4.54 GPA/2180 SATs
Though I did get it at UCD and UCSD.</p>
<p>I didn't either :</p>
<p>4.5 GPA/34 ACT/ 1/688 rank
Academic Decathlon, volunteer, pres of this and that, etc etc</p>
<p>But I did get regents from Berkeley (offer), UCD, UCSD.</p>
<p>Have they sent the letters to the recipients of the Regents yet? My son was invited to apply for regents but has not heard if he recvd it or not.</p>
<p>i echo liyana..did you apply for the alumni scholarship? because it's actually just as/more valuable than regents here...</p>
<p>I spoke with the ucla alumni office today and they said that they have not yet issued any invitations for interviews yet but will probably do so by the end of the week. Also, I think that the Regent letter mentioned that they would be notified on March 21 along with official acceptance.</p>
