So you guys think regents will come around February 14th?

I called the UCB admissions office today with the very same question. I got a recorded message that the office was closed all of this week to continue reading the 2017 applications.

@pristinechris Looks like they’re trying to finish up the applications this week. So maybe regents will come next week or the week after that.

I wouldn’t bother waiting of regents, almost no one gets it. Better to spend the time looking for other scholarships

Don’t know if this is allowed here. Please delete if not. If you haven’t seen the news about the riots at Berkeley last night please check the news. Sigh…

@LindsayHarvard Very few people get the regent scholarship but the regent invitation at Berkeley means guaranteed acceptance to Berkeley. My school has gotten around 2 regent invitations every year so it is definitely something to look forward to, especially if you are the top of your class.

@LindsayHarvard I was just wondering…I realize almost no one gets it, but its such a great scholarship, sue me for hoping.

And my stats aren’t shabby #humblebrag

@mafi4rmy I’m sure but a lot of people seem to be really expecting to get it, which isnt super reasonable, especially for out of state people

@JuicyMango wasn’t trying to call you out or anything. :)) I just think that in general its better to not expect these things and instead get a plesant surprise if they do happen.

I’m in state with a 34 ACT and around a 4.5 UC GPA (4.0UW) and the Regents scholarship hasn’t even crossed my mind. I already got accepted to Northeastern, though, and I’d most likely go there over Berkeley.

@ap012199 congrats on getting into Northeastern! Honestly, kids get it now and then from my school but generally it’s not for their stats but for their “life stories”

@LindsayHarvard Its definitely a combination of everything.

Are we expecting early notifications this year like last year? If yes, any idea when?

When did they release last year?

2nd Friday of Feb with Regent’s list

It appears Regent’s emails went out few mins back.
