Is anyone else intrigued enough by regent’s scholar status to UCSB to value it potentially more than normal status at UCLA/ UC Berkeley?
in other words, in your opinion, does priority status at UCSB with an accounting/econ major outweigh the prestige/higher rankings of UCLA business economics and potential of UCB Haas? the scholarship, honors program access, priority in class registration, housing, etc seems hard to turn down
I don’t have any insights for you, but would love to hear what others say. We are in the same boat (also accepted to UCB and potential Regents at UCLA). The value of UCSB Regents is a huge contributing factor (both monetary and non-monetary), and the school itself is so nice. I honestly don’t know what my son will choose, but I know I’m pushing him to look very strongly at UCSB.
We are in the same boat and would like to hear some thoughts. Our DS got UCD with Regents, UCI with CHP and invited to chancellor reception at UCSB. WL on UCSD and waiting to hear from Cal and UCLA.
