<p>UCB is my first choice but I don't think I will get in,my stats are not perfect but my essays were good and I am an interesting person ( i dont know if that matters)
I keep getting emails inviting me to apply to the alumni scholarships, but I heard that getting an invitation to apply doesn't mean anything and that everyone who applies to Berkeley gets the same email.
Should I apply to the scholarships?
Thank you, and I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.</p>
<p>Im in a sort of the same situation. I got the supplement from berkeely and filled it out. Now im debating whether or not to apply for the scholarhsips. In my opionion i think that i will and so should you just in case. Most cases the questions they ask for these scholarhsips could be switched with another scholarship oppurtunity from another school.</p>
<p>No point applying until you know you got in.</p>

<p>I didn’t get the supplement, that’s why I think I’m not going to get in. At least you know that your application is being reviewed. I just think that mine went straight to the “reject pile”, but I can’t really be sure :/. </p>

<p>I agree but the application deadline is February 24…</p>
<p>Is everyone who applied to UC Berkeley get the scholarship email?
I didn’t receive any scholarship email from UC Berkeley, does that mean I am in the rejected pile? sigh… I just hope I can get in UC Berkeley</p>
<p>No, not all 40,000+ applicants got the scholarship email. That would be insane. I’m not sure what the criteria was. Someone told me that anyone who applied and had over a 3.5 got the scholarship email but that would be every applicant. I can’t imagine anyone with a GPA below 3.5 bothered to apply to CAL. So, again, I don’t know what criteria was used. Maybe it is to anyone who completed the FAFSA and sent it to CAL???</p>
<p>^I didn’t complete Fafsa nor did I apply for financial aid, but I still got the email.</p>
