<p>[/ul]General Comments:</p>
<p>Er… I thought Berkeley didn’t look at recommendations. Is this thread rife with trolls or are these genuine admitted applicants?</p>
<p>Im surprised people got notifications already, if they are not fake. I know for a fact that Berkeley sends out notifications in the evening of March 29th.</p>
<p>They could have just copied their stats from other threads. With those kind of stats you could very well be a regents scholar, in which case you would have known ages ago.</p>

<p>How much is the Regents Scholarship worth at Berkeley? I know it’s $7000 a year at Davis. I read that it’s $2,000 at UCLA, but I don’t know if that’s per year or per semester.</p>
<p>Berkeley is 2500 a year, which kinda sucks cuz 10 yrs ago it was full ride or something</p>
<p>Does Berkeley really not do a holistic admissions process? I was under the impression that was the case…</p>
