<p>For those that received Regents invitations from UCLA, what did your invitation say exactly? What was the wording and tone?</p>
<p>I heard people got rejected with regents from UCLA last year; I got the Regents invitation from Berkeley, so I'm trying to figure out if the same thing could happen with Cal this year.</p>
<p>According to my calculated estimates (which may be just slightly inaccurate), the wording was 83.7773% congratulatory, 11.22% generally positive, and approximately 5.0027% nonchalant, resulting in a tone that was 100% ambiguous.</p>
<p>If the letter was printed on 8.5" by 11" Xerox High-Speed Copy Paper, then a very faint watermark could also be seen in the background–it consisted of the UCLA seal, only with the motto replaced by the text “Chill the f__k out.”</p>
<p>I apologize for any scientific errors, the subject pool of this study was <2 applicants–but you wanted an exact answer. I hope this helps in your continued research.</p>
<p>hmmm, I stress the fact that, based on what I’ve read and heard consistently, being offered Berkeley’s Regents means different things when compared to UCLA’s Regents.</p>
<p>I can type up the letter for you:</p>
<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Because of your outstanding academic record, you have been selected to compete for the UCLA Regents Scholarship and other research scholarships for the 2010-11 academic year.</p>
<p>The UCLA Regents Scholarship represents one of the highest honors awarded to entering students at the University of California and offers a merit award of $2000 per year for four years. Scholars who have additional financial need are awarded need-based scholarships and grants to supplement their Regents Scholarship award.</p>
<p>Regents Scholarship applicants will be evaluated and selected by the esteemed UCLA Faculty Committee on Honors, Awards, and Prizes. Scholars will be notified of their award at the time of their admissions to UCLA at the end of Marc, 2010. </p>
<p>If you wish to be considered for the UCLA Regents Scholarship, please submit the application along with the letter of rec blah blah blah blah.</p>
<p>[it ends with:]
Best wishes and good luck to you!</p>

<p>Was I allowed to type this all up?</p>
<p>okay so… this is what my regents counselor told me on why people from UCLA who got the invitation didn’t get in: it’s the regents board that chooses the people, not the admissions office themselves. and although there’s a really high chance that it if the regents chose you, the admissions will choose you, it is not certain. most likely, you’re in. but i wouldn’t be like all chillaxed about it. apply for it, and if you get the scholarship, you’re obviously in. as for berkeley, if you get the invite, you’re in.</p>
<p>^wait, did you counselor say that the berkeley invite means you’re in, or is that just based off observation of past years?</p>
<p>Same question!</p>
<p>i got the UCLA regents invite as well (i’m a transfer though). but for UCLA they jsut send it to everyone with a 4.0 from CC and presumably in HS as well.</p>
<p>for berkeley though, if you get an invite you are in. they do a holistic review process for its regents scholars and wouldn’t go through all the trouble of doing an interview with you if u weren’t in. from past threads from last year, there were a few people who got rejected from ucla even with the regents invite. but everyone that got the berkeley one got in</p>
<p>@lakerforever24: I believe hmmm and I (yes, now me too) are not positive that it will be the same this year, since things have changed this year.</p>
<p>cassenoix-Let me put it this way: I’m 95% sure nothing has changed form previous years. The procedures and events all look the same.</p>
