REGENTS SCHOLARSHIP

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Berkeley

<p>

</p>

<p>Choice of division (College of Letters and Science, College of Engineering, etc.) and choice of major within the College of Engineering does come into play as far as frosh admission selectivity at Berkeley goes. While EECS is a very large department, it is also a very popular major (and the department’s capacity also has to handle L&S CS majors).</p>

<p>Here’s another data point for those trying to find a pattern:</p>

<p>UCB Regents’ invite–yes
UCB Leadership invite–no (DID check the box for “Student who has demonstrated academic excellence as well as leadership in extracurricular activities”)</p>

<p>UCLA Regents’ invite–yes
UCLA Alumni invite–yes</p>

<p>UC Irvine CHP–no</p>

64

<p>For those who got the regents email, did you guys get an email from current regents students about the benefits of regents?
Some of my classmates did but I didn’t so I dunno if I should be worried that this means I’m not being seriously considered for the actual scholarshipm</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>For my daughter:</p>

<p>UCB Regents’ invite–NO
UCB Leadership invite–YES (DID check the box for “Student who has demonstrated academic excellence as well as leadership in extracurricular activities”)</p>

<p>UCLA Regents’ invite–YES
UCLA Alumni invite–YES</p>

<p>UC Irvine CHP–NO</p>

<p>@calbearsmom Understood the process can be “holistic”, but EC and Awards are good too - including a TEDx talk, AIME qualifier, charity concert, Regional level winner in FTC etc. That deepens the curiosity, if there are other factors.</p>

<p>@nimble09 Local California student. Yes, got leadership invite.</p>

<p>@ucnalumnus Thanks for confirming my suspicion that choice of major does matter.</p>

<p>If any EECS regent invitees can share a brief profile, that would help.</p>

<p>If you really want to know about Berkeley’s admissions reading process, the Hout report is a much better description: <a href=“http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/committees/aepe/hout_report_0.pdf”>http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/committees/aepe/hout_report_0.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

72

<p>@ucbalumnus: I definitely agree. The Hout report is fascinating. </p>

73

<p>UCB regents invite: No
UCB leadership and achievement invites: Yes (checked the box and has leadership in all his EC’s)</p>

<p>UCLA regents invite: No
UCLA alumni invite: Yes</p>

<p>UCI CHP: Yes</p>

<p>UCSD Medical Scholars Program Invite: Yes</p>

74

<p>UCB Regents’ invite–yes
UCB Leadership invite–yes</p>

<p>UCLA Regents’ invite–no
UCLA Alumni invite–yes</p>

<p>UCSD Medical Scholars Program invite–yes</p>

<p>UCSC Regents invite–yes</p>

75

<p>There is a UCI regents too, if you login to your UCI account, on the right side, where it says “Campuswide Honors”
there is also a box that indicates you are a Regents Scholar (if you are one). </p>

<p>Extra Data Points I guess: :D</p>

<p>UCB Regents Invite----yes
UCB Leadership Invite—yes</p>

<p>UCLA Regents Invite—No
UCLA Alumni Invite–yes</p>

<p>UCI CWH—yes
UCI Regents—yes</p>

<p>So there is! I wonder why no email about that? Maybe the letter is in the mail?</p>

77

<p>Rec’d UCB Regents Invite: 4.0 (UW), 4.27 (Capped), 4.81 (Uncapped), ACT 33, Chem 760, Math II 760. Solid EC and volunteering with leadership, good feedback on my essay, no hardship. Did not get leadership invite. EECS Major, California resident. </p>

<p>Does anybody know when transfer students may get the invitation??</p>

<p>Btw congrats to all the freshman reagent invites!!</p>

79

<p>is Regents only for those in California or can out-of-state and internationals get it also?</p>
