<p>To all who have been contacted about and/or received the Regents Scholarship from Berkeley (obviously not this year yet), when were you contacted, what did the initial contact consist of, and what were some of your basic stats?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Anyone have ANY information? At this point, I just mean anyone, not just people who got contacted/received.</p>
<p>3 years back, they emailed around mid-February about interviews.</p>
<p>I was emailed mid-February, received the package on Valentines Day, hence why people call it the “Love Letter from Cal” :)</p>
<p>All right, so what exactly do these initial e-mails and packages say?</p>
<p>Why does this matter now? If you get one, you’ll know. If you don’t, it won’t matter.</p>
<p>If you’re a transfer you won’t hear until mid to late May via email. There are no interviews for transfers so you don’t even know you are under consideration.</p>
<p>If you’re in-state with 2200~ SAT’s, seemingly good EC’s/essays, straight A’s in AP classes, you will get it. </p>
<p>It matters because it feeds your ego. Yea they contact you during Feb about interviews first.</p>
<p>“It matters because it feeds your ego.”</p>
<p>Well put; I’m honest enough to admit that.</p>
<p>I didn’t mean that getting Regents doesn’t matter, I meant that knowing what the letter says beforehand doesn’t matter.</p>
<p>Regents is dead near useless unless you qualify for need-based financial aid. If you do, then it’s glorious.</p>
<p>Is Regents only for in-state students, or is it for out-of-state as well? </p>
<p>If it is indeed for out-of-state also, I heard that we wouldn’t find out until the day decisions are released. Is that true? No interview or anything?</p>
<p>I think Regents is for both in-state and out-of-state students, but only in-state students get interviewed.</p>
<p>which program(s) do most Regents awardees enroll in?</p>
