<p>When will the scholarship invitation be released?
If you are invited to apply for the Leadership Award...does that mean you are already guaranteed admission?</p>
<p>Regents interviews are released in mid-February.</p>
<p>no to your second question, read the fine print</p>
<p>What is the Regents Scholarship?</p>
<p>"The Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship carries the highest honor awarded by the University of California, Berkeley to entering undergraduates." - UC</a> Berkeley Financial Aid Office: Undergraduates » Types of Aid » Scholarships » Regents' and Chancellor's Scholarship</p>
<p>Can OOS applicants get the nomination?</p>
<p><em>Reads about the scholarship</em>
Ohhhhhh, gotcha. Thanks, doc.</p>
<p>If OOS=Out Of State, it looks like the answer is yes. (Question 7, Q&A Regents' and Chancellor's Scholarship)</p>
<p>Does this imply admission?</p>
<p>I've been told that "everybody" gets the email, and that it means nothing.
I've also been told that it's a "great honor" and have been congratulated on admission.</p>
<p>I am lost.</p>
<p>^ Getting an invite for Regent's means your app was one of the best, like Top 10% if I remember correctly. So ya, you're unofficially in.</p>
<p>eternallysleepy, you are confused because there are two different scholarships you're talking about :)</p>
<p>The Regent's scholarship is definitely an honor and Berkeley contacts you if you are eligible- congrats!</p>
<p>The "Leadership" scholarship is open to all applicants.</p>
<p>So has anyone received a letter about the Regents Scholarship? I heard there is an invitation to a luncheon and interview as well.</p>
<p>Yeah all the Regents emails were sent out in the afternoon of 2/13, and then the packages should've been received in the mail by valentines day :)</p>
<p>I'm nervous. My luncheon/interview is this Thursday!</p>
<p>My son did the overnight visit last night and had his interview today. It was an invaluable experience for him. He summed it up: People are really normal there. You hear about how competitive it is, and you think the people will be high-strung, stressed out. In the dorm, and on the campus, he found everyone to be really nice and laid back. He had a lot of fun, and met kids he would like to hang out with. He was impressed that his hosts didn't start studying until around 11:30. He knows they work hard, but the overall vibe was really positive. Cheers, Berkeley! Great University, great student-body.</p>
<p>How did it go, Catalysis? If you did the overnight, what were your impressions? Maybe others who got to do the Regents could give their impressions, too. It would be a nice service for those who didn't get the opportunity, to hear unbiased feedback from those who did.</p>
<p>I actually didn't do the overnight stay because I live about an hour away from Cal (and I had stayed overnight in friends' dorms before). But I thought they day was tons of fun.
I got there at 11am for the campus tour (which lasted about an hour) and then had lunch. The lunch/presentation they planned out was very nice.
I had free time from 1-2ish because my interview was at 3pm with a mathematics professor, so I just walked around campus with my dad. We visited Haas because I want to go into business. The interview went GREAT, my professor was soo nice. </p>
<p>I definitely think the day made me love Cal even more :)</p>
<p>Someone has probably answered this question, but I need a clear answer.
So if I have been invited to the Regent Scholar interview, does that mean I've been accepted to Cal (even though I may not get the scholarship)?</p>
<p>Thanks in advance. :)</p>
<p>^ Yes. (10char)</p>
<p>When my son checked in before his interview the lady shook his hand and said "Congratulations, you're in." </p>
<p>We're pretty sure she was saying that to everyone...</p>
<p>Hey, that's better than an email or a letter!</p>
<p>Did you guys all have good interviews?</p>
