<p>Son got an email today advising him that he will be offered admission by April 1, and that he is a candidate for the Regent's scholarship. To compete for the scholarship, he must submit an additional essay by Feb 27.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how many Regent's are offered? Total number? Percentage of candidates?</p>
<p>I got this email too, does this mean I've been accepted?</p>
<p>My son just got his, too. It does say clearly in his letter that he will be admitted when the letters go out in March. </p>
<p>What he's wondering is if there's an "admit weekend" or something like that for Santa Cruz?</p>
<p>so.... is that an "unofficial" acceptance? it says we are in the top 3.6%... do they really only give this letter to their to 3.6%???</p>
<p>My daughter got one too.</p>
<p>It says they will be offering her admission in mid-March. This is the first school she has heard from and it's really nice to finally know something!</p>
<p>Congrats to all.</p>
<p>I got the email as well, and a follow-up package in the mail today. I'd like to know what percentage of candidates actually receive the scholarship as well - UCSC isn't at the very top of my list, but I do like the school, and the aid money could really help a lot.</p>
<p>(Congratulations to everyone else!)</p>
<p>anybody having trouble with the regents essay topic? its soooo broad and sooo short!</p>
<p>Can you guys post stats?</p>
<p>I sent in the essay and haven't heard anything since. Did anyone get any confirmation or no?

GPA: 3.92 UW, 4.2 weighted
Rank: 2/275
Ethnicity: White
SAT/ACT: 790 W, 780 CR, 710 M
SATII: 670 Math II, 700 Lit.
