Synopsis: Looking back, I can definitely say that most likely my academics and PIQs carried my application. EC wise I had about 6ish hours per week so in that regard I was probably on the lower tier. For Demographics the only thing I could say benefited me is probably the fact the UCs probably favor in state applicant.
I just found the faq:
- When will scholarship awards be announced?
- A handful of scholarships, such as the Regents Scholarship and Provost Award, are announced at the time of Admission. The vast majority of scholarships are awarded over the summer. However, we award scholarships throughout the academic year as money becomes available. So, there is a chance you will receive a scholarship at any time during the academic year.
