<p>Has anyone applying as a transfer student received a letter inviting them to apply for the Regents Scholarship? I'm not sure if they are out yet.</p>
<p>I haven't got one; they say the "official" time they come out will be May 1st!!! But hopefully sooner.</p>
<p>UCLAs are out but I don't think UCB's are yet. If you hear a date for notification pass it on.</p>
<p>will do. Thanks for the info.</p>
<p>bump........</p>
<p>My friend got the regent's already....if that means anything.</p>
<p>He was a shoe in for Regents anyways, being Valedictorian and all.</p>
<p>Was he/she a transfer student or a freshman applicant?</p>
<p>How does a transfer student qualify to apply for the Regents Scholarship? Is it just GPA? And what factors are taken into account for the actual awarding of the scholarship?</p>
<p>walnut: your friend transfer or freshman?</p>
<p>I heard that we will be notified when freshman are notified of their acceptances which would be March 30. Do you think there is any truth to this? I just hope I get Regents as a transfer because I have worries about financial aid.</p>
<p>lostincode: Transfer applicant</p>
<p>"He was a shoe in for Regents anyways, being Valedictorian and all."</p>
<p>How can a transfer student be a val?</p>
<p>I really hope we don't have to wait for transfer regents notification as long as the website says. I know Freshman were notified much earlier than the timeline that was presented online.</p>
<p>Oh and I know that as a transfer you must have a 4.0 GPA and I think they read your essays again etc.</p>
<p>well if walnut's friend isn't lying</p>
<p>you didn't get regents XD</p>
<p>neither did i or sweetny :'(</p>
<p>Don't worry, I saw it with my own eyes, it's real. It was sent from UCLA.</p>
<p>"How can a transfer student be a val?"</p>
<p>Why can't a transfer student be a valedictorian?</p>
<p>Because a valedictorian is the top graduate...did your friend go to a two year school? I am not doubting you by the way. I just know plenty of people on here with 4.0's from cc's who did not mention anything about val. ooo It is from UCLA I thought you meant he was sent one from UCB (which is what this thread is about...)</p>
<p>Lostincode: Also since I only have a 3.94, I don't think I had a chance to begin with. :(</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarification I got the regents invite from UCLA too. They sent theres out early I don't think UCB has sent them out for transfers yet.</p>
<p>Actually, I didn't really know what Regents was, and just posted what I saw without looking too much into it. I later found out that it was college specific, so it's my fault for the confusion. </p>
<p>My friend and I go to Pasadena City College, and they offer two year degrees. I think it's called the AS degree.</p>
<p>Hey ya'll, i decided to chime in here since i applied to berk too lol. Most community colleges DONT RANK. So being a valedictionarian at a CC is very fishy.</p>
