SAT IIs: Physics- 670, Math II- 700
Strong Essays and ECs
Focused course load and work experience
No interview or LOR

heard nothing about regents-- said i’ll hear about scholarships + aid on March 30th

@murphy69 Scroll down on your portal where it says new links?

What percentage of regents interviewees get the scholarship?

Also i’ll hear about scholarship and fa March 30th ,no regents.

Is it possible to get an early admit without Regents offers?

Accepted to EECS although I applied for MET. Even so, I am hella siced.
I am also an OOS ( I don’t know how I will manage to pay for Berkely :frowning: it’s a school I really want to go to but nearly impossible for OOS to afford)
ACT: 30(Math: 35, Science: 34, English: 29, Reading: 24 (I am horrible at this section of the ACT))
SAT Subject Test: Physics(760), Math II(780)
My application was loaded with my extracurricular activities mainly focusing on STEM. Also had really good research experience. And spent a lot of time on essays.

heard nothing about regents unfortunately :’’’(

Did any international student get into UC Berkeley yesterday?

Accepted into the College of Engineering, bioengineering major!! No regent invite. I’m out of state and did not receive a LOR request.

To those saying you did not receive a regents invite — do you not see a link saying R&S scholarship at the bottom of the admissions letter? With a new in front

also accepted to college of engineering bioengineering major! with regent invite

I’m pretty sure early admits are only for Regents offers–there should be a link at the bottom of your admission letter that says “R&C Scholarship Information” when you view your admissions offer letter.

@scarletwitchx i was talking with my friend and we were comparing letters. I got an interview for regents, and he did not.

only in state applicant and oos got an interview for regents??
I am in international pool.

Admitted to College of Letters and Science and a regents invitation!!!
GPA: 4.2/3.89- 4 B’s freshman and sophomore year
ACT: 34
SAT 2: 710 Math 2, 710 Bio, 710 U.S. History
AP: Lang-4, U.S. History-5, Bio-4
My extracurricular were mostly centered around music, but I applied for environmental sciences. I had a lot of leadership opportunities and over 300+ hours of community service. Also, I’m a very competitive musician who has won many prestigious music awards.
I think I got in because I bridged my love for music with my love for the environment pretty well in my essays. My scores/ grades were average at best.

@lanabanana99 , did you get requested for LORs?

@johnlimster no, I did not. There was just a interview sign up link on the bottom of the acceptance page for regents.

Also admitted to College of Letters and Science and invited to interview for regents!
GPA: 4.4/4.0
SAT: 2330
SAT 2: 790 US History, 780 Math II, 730 Bio M
AP: Bio (3), Chem (3), USH (5), Euro (5), Psych (5), Calc AB (5), Calc BC (5), Eng Lang (5), Hum Geo (5)
My extracurriculars were pretty focused around a theme of lab/public health research and other medical activities on and off campus. Essays were really quirky (I talked about herding alpacas for one lmao) and conveyed different aspects to my personality/intellectual drive.
I think I got in because I had very pinpointed EC’s and essays that supported/humanized them in unconventional ways.
Low key thought I was out of the running because of my 3’s in bio and chem.

Our school does not offer gpa, but only offers % grade out of 100.

I wonder how they recalculate this to UC GPA.
Please explain in detail.Thanks in advance.

Accepted College of Letters and Science with no Regents-- International applicant!
