<p>Is there any correlation between UCB regents by holistic selection and UCSD regents by points selection?
The obvious hypothesis is UCB regents implies UCSD regents.</p>
<p>Not quite sure what this means! But I am quite sure UCB Regents implies the UCSD one, though I think it’s not uncommon for the reverse implication to be false.</p>
<p>Has anyone heard of UCSD giving merit based scholarships for engineering for regent scholars?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Not necessarily. When my daughter applied a few years ago she was accepted by UCB, UCSD, and UCD. She got Regents Scholarship offers from UCB and UCD but not UCSD.</p>
<p>UCSD gives merit scholarships for Jacobs School Scholar program (full ride, priority housing, etc.) but they may not necessarily be regents scholars.
[UCSD</a> Jacobs School of Engineering](<a href=“http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/external/external_giving/giving_opp/schol_fellow.shtml]UCSD”>http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/external/external_giving/giving_opp/schol_fellow.shtml)</p>
<p>UCSD regular admissions are definitely by a points system; not sure if their Regents’ is, but it would seem to make sense.</p>
<p>Berkeley Regents’ is holistic.</p>
<p>Wait LOL I may not have applied to UCSD? I have no clue 
I’d IMAGINE that getting the UCB REgents implies the UCSD one, but could be wrong.</p>
<p>I got Regents invite from UCB this year but no invite to Scholar’s Day for UCSD.
2 of my friends had it the other way around.</p>
<p>That’s exactly what happened to me…</p>
<p>Berkeley’s “holistic” approach is not holy. Instead of using a transparent evaluation rubric as UCSD uses, UCB has its own internal undisclosed rubric which readers use to “score” applications on a 1 to 5 scale. with 1 being tops. Except, Berkeley keeps the factors they use under wraps. A few years ago, a Professor Holt ? did an internal study and gave the outside world (us) a glimpse at what goes on at Berkeley admissions. Not terrible different from UCSD at its core though very different weights and scoring (relying more on reader’s judgments). A vast majority of Berkeley’s class is composed of ELCs (as is true of UCLA and to a lesser extent UCSD), but no ELC is guarenteed a spot at either Berkeley (or UCLA or UCSD).</p>
<p>
This is not true.</p>
<p>Got Invitation for Regents from UCB, alumni scholarship from UCB/UCLA and medical scholars/Jacob Engineering scholar from UCSD. </p>
<p>And I’m not an ELC.</p>

Are you class of 2013 or are you already in college?
I thought alumni scholarships [for UCB at least] didn’t come out yet?</p>
<p>^^^: Class of 2013.</p>
<p>S got UCSD Jacob Engineering Scholar. Is this scholarship very hard to get? He also has USC scholarship. Any opinion on what to weigh? How about selective private school admissions?</p>
<p>My friend got one of thos Jacob scholars, (if ur reading this hahaha), but its a full ride so thats awesome.</p>
<p>I was surprised that UCSD actually sent Regent scholarship last week without any prior notification. Maybe because I didn’t go to my UCB Regent interview.</p>
