<p>Yah...I don't want to sound arrogant, but I guess I was so disappointed because I sort of expected it a little...</p>
<p>I didn't get/haven't gotten one yet, and I'm not quite sure why. Most everybody else in the top 20 at my school has gotten one, and I know my index is certainly high enough.</p>
<p>basic stats:
1570 sat, 800/2 x 750 SAT II
straight A's w/ exception of one B+ in Eng, first sem junior year
all AP/honors classes</p>
<p>It just seems odd to me that everybody else with similar stats at my school got one, and I didn't... weird, definately. And yeah, sweetdreams87, I guess I sort of expect(ed) it too. Oh well, what can you do.</p>
<p>Already stated, there's more to it than just scores.</p>
<p>how can a 1600 compared to being a Rickoid (ie an RSI participant) or an INTEL Grand Winner?</p>
<p>staticsoliloquy u said your family only makes $5000 dollars a yer.
Sorry to ask but how?</p>
<p>At a full time min wage job one can make more than 12,000</p>
<p>Hell i even made more than $5000 last year. </p>
<p>Sry for being rude but i just don't get it.</p>
<p>he's self-employed and old so he doesn't work a lot</p>
<p>[edit] oh, and my mom doesn't work.</p>
<p>..............huh....</p>
<p>ya..disbelief huh? ehh our situation could've been a lot worse. we get by fine so it doesn't matter</p>
<p>Of course it's more than scores; I do hold a lot of leadership positions.
Ah well.</p>
<p>yeah, i got the invite too. i'm not gonna apply cuz, just like bri, i don't wanna take someone else's chances away, and i've already been admitted somewhere else so i'm not likely to go to cal anyway</p>
<p>im glad i got one, cuz i think i'm not as stellar as other applicants</p>
<p>SATI: 720m 730v
sat ii: 800 800 730</p>
<p>and honestly, my extracurricular activity SUCKS</p>
<p>but YAY, i got one . WHOOO</p>
<p>it's not scores, not ECs, not honors, not essay...eh, I think they just draw names out of a hat.</p>
<p>YUp, i think so too. none of my GENIUS friends gets one. so i was like......of course i am not getting it.</p>
<p>darkling, is my coffee bitter or is it coming from you?</p>
<p>My stats SUCK and I got one. I'm Asian also, not URM. WEIRD. Well, actually, my stats don't SUCK that much, but they are nothing compared to everyone else's. I don't know why. It's so strange, but I'm not complaining. haha</p>
<p>i have a question. is it possible to get regents from more than one school? i mean like to actually get the scholarship and not just be nominated for the scholarship.<br>
it's funny because i applied to ucsd, thinking they'd give me regents. Instead, ucla and berkeley (two schools i much prefer going to than ucsd) gave me the regents application. so is it possible for me to get both (don't wanna jinx myself, knock on wood)? congrats to all ya'll. my interview is on march 20. i'm from socal. good luck!</p>
<p>I know several people who also got both scholarship invites (congrats!) and I don't see why not. I don't think the UCs keep in contact with each other about this stuff. Besides, I can't see one school "giving up" the chance to have you by agreeing that only one of them will give you the Regents'.</p>
<p>How many letters of rec are you guys bringing to your interviews?</p>
<p>UCSD does not have a separate application for Regents/chancellors</p>
<p>For Regents they do it by SAT score. If you are around 1570 and above, you win.</p>
<p>Chancellor is different. It factors in SAT but other things like ECs and Recs count too.</p>
<p>"For Regents they do it by SAT score. If you are around 1570 and above, you win."</p>
<p>Last year, I was the valedictorian with a 1580 and I didn't get one. The salutatorian had a 1560 and he didn't get one either. However, people who got 1400s and were ranked in the teens in my high school received the Regents' Scholarship. Anyway, in the end I chose to go to Stanford and the salutatorian chose to go to Harvard. So if you don't get a Regent's Scholarship it's not like you weren't qualified for it. Sometimes these things are just random.</p>
