<p>What does it take to be a Regents scholor at UCLA?</p>
<p>Really good SATs (2180 from moi didn't cut it 800M 710V 670W, so I'd think 2250+) and similar SAT II's (My stats - 800 Math II, 730 US History/Biology E), GPA near perfect and great essays. I received Regents/Chancellor's at UC Davis and Irvine but not at UCSD/Cal/UCLA.</p>
<p>yeah solid stats (all of my regents friends have around mid-1500s on old SAT and near 4.0 unweighted GPAs) and did all the other impressive stuff. basically, they had what it took to get into harvard, stanford, etc. but chose ucla instead.</p>
<p>sounds kinda crazy but the standards are way up there cuz tons of applicants that can get into ivies also apply to berkeley/ucla for "backups" and they eat up a lot of the regents scholarship offerings.</p>
<p>yeah, it does take alot (i chose UCLA after columbia and cornell decided to put on a 45k+ tab) :D</p>
<p>i got 2240 SAT and didn't get it... had 4.4 GPA and high SAT IIs. i got regents at davis but that was it.
one friend had SAT of 2250 and he did get regents. not sure of his gpa but it was prolly a cut above mine.
i feel like i was almost, almost there... but hey, there's always the honors program =P</p>
<p>unless you're engineering :D <---- pwned</p>
<p>Deuces, got the same thing with Cornell and Columbia actually. Bastards. </p>
<p>And I definitely had a 1500 on the old SAT and was not offered regents if that helps.</p>
<p>yes, I had a 1500 on old SAT format but I was also not offered regents, maybe that's because my GPA was pretty bad.</p>
<p>1530 and no regents, wasn't expecting it though because of my GPA. A friend of mine from high school had a 1540/4.0 unweighted and got into upenn and a bunch of other private schools, as well as berkeley regents, but he didn't get offered UCLA regents. so I don't know, it seems a bit random.</p>
