regents scholars get to enroll in classes sooner than peers. each semester, scholarship athletes and disabled students get first priority (it alternates each semester), then it's by seniority, but regents' scholars get priority relative to their class standing. it doesn't surprise me that it isn't advertised online, but it's one of many perks to being a scholar.

<p>This was posted in the Parents Forum. I know this has been discussed previously. If true, this would be an important thing for people to know who are debating UCB vs. UCLA...</p>

<p>No we do not. There's been no official statement on this, and for the life of me I can't imagine why they wouldn't publicize it if it were true. What may be true is that a Regents' scholar typically may have more units than other students through taking APs, or a higher course load in previous semesters and so on and would get higher standing as a result.</p>

<p>Regents' scholars at Cal do not get priority registration. Regents' scholars at all other UC campuses (to the best of my knowledge) do.</p>
