Hello,
I just got the email saying that I was considered for the regents scholar. I was wondering what the qualifications are, as I did not expect to receive it. Also, I don’t even remember applying. How do they decide?
@coolcheesebagel : My understanding is that in the case of Berkeley, all applicants are automatically considered. No separate application is required. As for selection, while details of qualifications are not available, the process is described here: http://financialaid.berkeley.edu/regents-and-chancellors-scholarship
"Faculty select candidates from the top entering applicants who have been admitted to Berkeley, as determined by a holistic review by the Academic Senate Committee on Undergraduate Scholarships, Honors, and Financial Aid.
"California residents and a limited number of out-of-state candidates are invited in early February for a one-on-one interview with a member of Berkeley’s faculty. Interviews take place in late February and March. Notification regarding disposition of candidacy is made by the end of March.
“International and transfer candidates’ admission files are reviewed by the Committee on Scholarships, Honors, and Financial Aid.”
