<p>what is this event? does it have any connections to admissions? has it anything to do with regents? </p>
<p>im trying not to get any hopes up because im oos (TN), but am i just making things up when i think that ucsd is trying to actively recruit me with this invitation?</p>
<p>i have heard that there is a very good chance of getting accepted if you get this. i sure hope this is true, because i am also OOS (texas), and i'm making arrangements to fly there during my spring break for this.</p>
<p>i don't think it has anything to do with the regents scholarship though.</p>
<p>If you have been invited to Scholar's Day, you will be admitted 100% for sure. Nearly all Regents and Chancellors will come out of the Scholars Day universe, but the Regents/Chancellor winners will be a very small percentage of the Scholars Day total.</p>
<p>So if they sent you the package with theCD and the slip of paper saying "you're among the best of our applicants..." then basically you're in?</p>
<p>apparently. on <a href="http://alumni.ucsd.edu/students/events.htm%5B/url%5D">http://alumni.ucsd.edu/students/events.htm</a>, it says "Alumni host tables of top scholars and their parents at the annual Scholars' Day luncheon. These students represent the top 5% of admitted students to UCSD for each of the six colleges."</p>
<p>woohoo!</p>
<p>Lol, I got some Scholar's Day Invite email telling me about some correction they made to the calendar, but I never received anything in the mail. I wonder if they sent this to me by accident? I was not invited to be a Regents scholar here (though I was at UCLA).</p>
<p>I just got a call from UCSD. Scholar's Day is apparently ONLY for the top 277 applicants, so I'd venture out a guess and say if you got invited, you're in.</p>
<p>I'm not sure whether or not I should go to Scholar's Day. UCSD is pretty far down on my list of colleges that I want to go to, so I'm not sure if it's worth it to skip school for a day to listen to speeches by a bunch of administrators. But the fact that they were selective in their invitations makes me think that I would be wasting my invitation if I don't go. Any idea if Scholar's Day is really worth attending or not?</p>
<p>free ice cream sundaes and no school...those are my incentives anyway</p>
<p>Yup sounds good. I just got a phone call tonight inviting me, but I never got the original invitation in the mail, so it mustve been lost somewhere along the line.</p>
<p>bleh. i'm giving up 3 days of my break for this. last minute plane tickets suck. i can't find any that will let me fly in and leave the same day.</p>
