Received a letter regarding Regent's Scholarship.

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>I got a letter from the university saying I've been entered to compete for a Regent's Scholarship. Does that mean I've already been admitted or my chances are very good?</p>

2

<p>It is common belief that IF you have received this letter you are in the acceptance "pile"-but formal notification has not yet been issued. I would not go out an celebrate until you see an acceptance in writing-then celebrate! G'Luck!!!</p>

3

<p>aww the anticipation. i remember it quite clearly
love ucla :)</p>

<p>My D got a leter today too.</p>

<p>UCLA</a> Financial Aid Office-Scholarship Office</p>

<p>the top 1.5% are offered to compete
but then 100 of the 700-850 receive</p>

<p>When I read it I totally skipped to the bold print of the UCLA Regents Scholarship
did not see the
Compete for</p>

<p>either way... I am totally hoping this means an acceptance basically... I mean... 1.5 percent...</p>

6

<p>Yeah, it is an acceptance letter of sorts. Congratulations, but be sure to apply for the scholarship. I hope to see you at the Scholars Reception in April.</p>

<p>^look who's back.</p>

8

<p>I just got my letter today! Does this mean I'm in FOR SURE?</p>

9

<p>Are you all talking about physical mail or e-mail? :-/</p>

<p>and could it be that they send the notifications out like, in waves... not all at once?</p>

10

<p>Physical mail.</p>

11

<p>if they invite the top 1.5% to compete, how exactly do they define the top 1.5%? what are you guys' stats?</p>

12

<p>I got a physical letter too: It's dated Jan 24, 3008. I expected to get it, comparing myself to those who received it from years past.</p>

13

<p>They read the app holistically and choose based on that. Stats aren't so important. I know people with a 2010 on the SAT get nominated, yet people with a 2300+ not (and of course vice versa), with pretty much the same GPA/rigor of course load.</p>

14

<p>I got it yesterday too. YAY!</p>

<p>My SAT score is pretty low. It's 2000</p>

15

<p>As mentioned before, the nomination isn't based alone on scores. You probably had strong EC's and a good personal statement which supplemented a decent SAT score.</p>

16

<p>My D has a UC score in the range 480-485.</p>

</p>

<p>Wow! You got mail from the future, congratulations ;)</p>

18

<p>I also got the letter this morning, and if what you all are saying is true, I am ecstatic!</p>

19

<p>Jw, how did you get a letter today? I didn't know that the post office delivered on Sundays...</p>

<p>Maybe he didn't check his mail last night. heh</p>
