A prospective freshman friend of mine has gotten their portal link, but I have not. I’m an incoming transfer, not an incoming freshman, but I don’t think a thread has been made for transfers yet. Are the portal link release dates different for freshmen and transfers?
I started the new Fall 2023 Transfer discussion for UC Davis. The portal information should be available for Transfers this month- December. Make sure you check your Spam/Junk folder.

Other (Strengths, weaknesses, hooks, etc.): I got one W on my transcript as I dropped a class during Fall 2022, also got Ds during highschool but my overall highschool GPA was >3.5, also trying to do a 1-year CC transfer! I completed a lot of credits in HS through dual enrollment, AP classes, and taking CC classes during the summer so I have a big head start on transfering 
Where else did you apply/TAG?: UC Irvine (TAG), UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC Riverside, and UCLA
I’m a transfer applicant for Fall 2023 and I received and an email from UC Davis regarding the regents scholarship yesterday, February 6th.
Here is what the email stated:
"Dear Student,
Greetings from UC Davis Financial Aid and Scholarships. Our records show you have applied for transfer admission consideration to UC Davis for fall 2023. We are honored UC Davis is a preferred choice and, if admitted, you may be eligible for the Regents Scholarship.
Please note, this correspondence does not confirm your admission to UC Davis; scholarship consideration is separate from the admissions decision process. Transfer applicants will be notified of their admissions decision in late April via myadmissions.ucdavis.edu.
The Regents Scholarship is the most prestigious scholarship at UC Davis and is awarded to students solely based on academic and personal achievements. Recipients receive a two-year honorarium award of $7,500 per year, disbursed over three quarters, assuming the student continues to meet the criteria. For a full list of privileges and perks of the scholarship, please visit Regents Scholarships.
To be considered for the Regents Scholarship:
The deadline to submit the scholarship application is Friday, February 24, 2023. The scholarship application is comprised of the following:
We require one letter of recommendation, but you may request two. Please note, we will only read the first letter if both letters are received. Once you have requested a letter of recommendation through the website, your recommender will receive an email with instructions on how to upload their letter. The deadline for the letter of recommendation(s) is Monday, February 27, 2023."
I’m confused as to whether or not this is an “invitation” to apply to the regents scholarship, since you stated UC Davis does not send invites. Did every applicant receive this email, or at least every transfer applicant? Also, do you think this is a good sign in terms of whether or not I might be admitted? For reference, I have a 4.0 gpa and I applied as an economics major.
Congratulations. Yes, this is an invite to apply to Regents. Transfer students are invited to apply while for Freshman students it is automatic consideration. It is a very good sign for being admitted.
Wow okay, I did not know that! Do you know what the criteria for being invited is and how many transfer students are invited to apply?
Transfer Regents invites and awards are given to students based solely on their academic (Usually UC Transfer GPA of 3.8+) and personal achievements. I do not know how many Transfer students receive the invite or the award. Usually Regent scholars are the top 1-2% of applicants.
Just curious, are both freshmen and transfers notified in February for Berkeley regents or only freshmen?
UC Davis notifies Freshman applicants with the March decisions. Regents for Freshman is automatic and no invites.
Transfers are invited in February and will hear with decisions in April.
Hi I hope you’re doing good.
Just wanted to know my chances of getting into UC davis and other UC’s
