<p>I just got the letter and I am soooo excited. I've wanted to go to Berkeley forever.</p>
<p>i know who you are..Mr.X_, yea i got both invites..ucla and UCB regents..and my last name ends with G too.</p>
<p>i got my letter.... wheee</p>
<p>me too</p>
<p>bah</p>
<p>more work</p>
<p>yay! i'm sooooooooooooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!! got the invite too, my first acceptance ever :D</p>
<p>do all candidates who apply receive the scholarship?</p>
<p>i think ~1000 are invited for the scholarship and 200 actually receive it.</p>
<p>Still wondering if this is for California residents only? If so, is there something comparable for non-residents?</p>
<p>From the website:</p>
<p><< UC Berkeley</p>
<p>Regents and Chancellor's Scholarships</p>
<p>Berkeley's most prestigious scholarship, and is awarded annually to approximately 200 incoming undergraduates. $1,000 per year

Please do not submit letters of recommendation or any other documentation unless specifically requested to do so.
- Final Review

Northern California interviews are held on the UC Berkeley Campus; Southern California interviews are held in Los Angeles.
- Scholarship Recipient Selection

(Candidates submit optional letters of recommendation only to the interviewing professor at time of interview.)

<p>i got the e-mail 2/14 but i checked my mail today (2/15) , but I didn't get the application in the mail. Did anyone get anything?</p>
<p>If you still haven't received an email, I think you can check at myBerkeleyApplication:</p>
<p>It'll say Congratulations under "Messages" once you login.</p>
<p>Has anybody received the actual paper invitation in the mail, though?</p>
<p>I'm getting angry at berkeley now. Perhaps I'll be one of those people who get wooed away by UCLA or an east coast college.</p>
<p>Yeah the myBerkeleyApplication has the link to RSVP for your interview.</p>
<p>Congrats to those received the invitation,</p>
<p>but on a side note....</p>
<p>The whole Regent Scholarship package is not that enticing. No priority registration (oh boy that's a big letdown), the $$ you'll get is not all that great compared to other schools, 4-years guaranteed housing is not that of a big deal since most people move out the Units after 1 or 2 years.</p>
<p>No wonder we're losing like half of the scholarship recipients to other schools.........</p>
<p>But oh well, it's not a bad deal anyway :o</p>
<p>You're right; in comparison, the UCLA one looks so much more lucrative... but oh well. Then again, it IS Cal.</p>
<p>yayyyy... I got my letter/packet today.</p>
<p>has anyone not gotten the letter i've gotten the e-mail, but nothing in the mail</p>
<p>mruncleramos -- I know exactly how you feel. I received Regents to each UC I applied to (SD/LA/Davis), but didn't even get an invite from Berkeley. I was really annoyed because I felt I was really qualified in comparison to those who did receive an invitation, and not just in terms of scores/academics. Still, I'm at Berkeley now, soooo...</p>
<p>can the reason i did not receive an invitation for the regents scholarship be because i put a high number for my parents' income in the application?</p>
<p>These are merit money, not need based.</p>
