<p>I'm a Regents Candidate. Does this entitle a letter come March?</p>
<p>they tell you you are in when you go to that interview thing</p>
<p>Oh, sweetness. Haha, it's unexpected great news. I thought it was just another ad at first.</p>
<p>post them stats</p>
<p>Mine were rather mediocre.</p>
<p>Wanted Major: Economics</p>
<p>ACT: 32</p>
<p>SAT: didn't take</p>
<p>GPA: Indicated as 4.0 UW (it's actually a bit lower, but they didn't have option for A-'s on UC app). Most rigorous courseload available. Most rigorous ever taken at my school by far to specify o_o.</p>
<p>SAT II: 790 Math II, 540 Lit <-- This is what boggles me. I did take Physics and have significantly higher for other colleges I applied to, but not in time for the UC deadline.</p>
<p>ECs: Various community service totaling maybe 700 hours. mostly as math tutor for 540 of them. </p>
<p>Baseball 2nd base, right field.</p>
<p>Awards: None significant. No National Merit.</p>
<p>Others: I took 2 summer classes at Yale. UCSD Economics class. Georgetown International Relations and American Politics noncredit programs. </p>
<p>Why do I think I got Regents: Both my parents are deaf and I know sign language. And I thought they skim the essays...</p>
<p>Essays: important for Regent's. Congratulations! When're you interviewing?</p>
<p>March 8. Sunday I think.</p>
<p>Dress is semi-formal I'm guessing?</p>
<p>Hey congrats. I got in too, but I was skeptical , at first, when everyone was saying it's an automatic acceptance if you get invited for the regent's scholarship.</p>
<p>I would dress to impress :)</p>
<p>Yeah, it's just something that seems too good to be true haha. Especially because I had no idea they do this o_o. </p>
<p>Dress to impress, I'll try. I just don't want to walk in with like a full on tuxedo shiznit haha.</p>
<p>Maybe some diesel jeans, a clean shirt, and a sports coat</p>
<p>I would say no jeans.</p>
<p>slacks and collared shirt would be best I think</p>
<p>you think it's funny to walk in with a full on suit, but trust me someone there will be wearing one. </p>
<p>put it this way, these formal scholarships are the types you want to dress well. (collared shirts and slacks, maybe sports coat, etc) I went to interview with this one college's dean (of something or another) and I arrived with about three people waiting in line. They were all wearing something nice and fancy. Me? I had on these baggy jeans, a sports jacket and t-shirt. I'm pretty the interviewer was surprised to see me in that attire as well. lol</p>
<p>Jeans can look nice T_T.</p>
<p>Jean do look nice but it's not about how "nice" it looks. It has to be clothes that say "I only wear this on formal occassions." lol.</p>
<p>Boo. Semi-formal ftw</p>
<p>Yes - you're basically in. Congratulations.</p>
<p>For the Regents interview, dress semi-formal. They want to find out whether or not you have any particular interests/passions that will help you contribute to the community. It's mainly about screening out those overcompetitive people with no life.</p>
<p>Got this information from a professor who's been doing lots of these interviews.</p>
<p>ohh thanks excelblue. very helpful</p>
<p>WHy do they ask which subject you’re interested in. If I choose biology, will they ask me about my interest in biology?</p>
<p>It’s to generally try to match you up with a professor of that subject area (of course, they may not have enough Bio professors if you choose Bio and give you someone random).</p>
<p>So I won’t have to know anything about biology if I pick that subject. Or will he/she ask me “how will you pursue your career in biology?” or “why have you chosen biology?”</p>
