Based on last year’s notification date, the e-mail for this year should come out next Tuesday on the Feb 10th. So nervous right now.
how many applicants do they select for regents scholar candidacy ?
@llxxdd2200
I saw someone on the site mentioned that Berkeley invites around 2% of all applicants for interview each year.
Here’s what Berkeley itself says: "The top 1 percent of incoming freshmen applicants will be invited to apply for the Regents’ and Chancellor’s Scholarship. "
So, I would say approximately 600-800 applicants.
when do the regents scholorship invites come out. did anyone get them
Based on last year, it should probably come out next week.
And they will eventually pick 200 to be the scholars.
It might be more than 600-800.
Berkeley received more than 90,000 applications this year.
Last year I was told they actually offered the scholarship to 400 students and it usually works out that 200 students accept it an enroll at Cal. I thought they interviewed 1200 students. The 200 that turn it down usually are choosing Ivy League, Stanford or MIT
Has anybody received the Berkeley Regents Scholarship invitation yet?
It seemed like somebody already got it.
do out of state students get notification for regents candidacy? or do they just have to wait till march when decisions come out?
llxxdd2200- my son said the out of state students last year did not have to interview and were notified that they received the scholarship on the same day decisions came out, he was told that there are 16 out of state students that accepted the Regents and Chancellor scholarship for the incoming class of 2014. Not sure, of course, how many total out of state students were offered it.
Wait - @sunflowermom - do you mean that they didn’t find out about potential for Regents until late March decision time? Or that they got decisions and definitive Regents status when in-state people learned about potential for Regents? Thanks!
Out of state Regents didn’t hear anything until March 27. That day they learned they were accepted to CAL and that they were awarded the Regents Scholarship, in-state students learned that they were accepted to CAL and were candidates for the Regents Scholarship on Feb 11. They then had to interview for it either in San Diego, Los Angles or on the Berkeley campus. They then found out if they received the scholarship on March 27. Hope that helps! It’s a very exciting time!!
This is really helpful. Thank you!
Does one need to file FAFSA to be considered for Regents scholarhip?
No, you don’t need to file FAFSA to get invitation for Regents Scholarship.
Thanks
My son’s Cal portal says he got invited for regents !!!
Was definitely not expecting this. Check your portal kiddos…
@eth0up did he receive an email too?
