Regents Denial

<p>Did anyone with stats they know or think should qualify for regents not get the invitation? If so, what were your exact stats and do you think not getting regents indicates something negative about admission?</p>

<p>4 days late - oh well!</p>

<p>I don’t know his exact stats, but this guy I know is considerably up there academically (in top 10? top 15?). In our AP English class, for example, only four students received an A in all three classes, and he was included in this (along with me, another person who got accepted into Yale, and this other girl who is rounded as well). </p>

<p>I’m positive he has straight A’s. I have straight A’s, not astounding SAT or SAT II’s, and barely any EC’s. I am pretty sure that he’s in the same boat as me; however, I got the UCLA Regents. </p>

<p>But I don’t think not getting regents necessarily means he will get rejected… but it is sort of disappointing?</p>

<p>EDIT: My stats, if that helps:</p>

<p>SAT: 1890
ACT: 31
SAT II: 710 and 730, I believe? (History and Bio)
GPA: Not sure. Above 4.0; rank 2 in graduating class so far
EC’s: nothing beyond volunteering at local library and Key Club; 300 hours ish.</p>

<p>Of the 57,000 applicants to UCLA this year, there are probably thousands that are qualified for regents invitation. But since only about 1000 are invited, many qualified applicants don’t get invited.</p>

<p>Although I have nothing to do with adcom, my guess is that not getting an invite does not indicate anything negative for acceptance. Many thousands of students get accepted and only a small number are invited to apply for regents.</p>

<p>I know students from the same school with similar stats with/without invite. One stduent has slightly < 4.5 UC GPA with ~2300 SAT, invited. One student has slightly > 4.5 UC GPA with ~2200 SAT, not invited but her chance of getting in should still good.</p>

<p>Relax :)</p>
