<p>Does the criteria for becoming a Regents Scholar vary with each UC?</p>
<p>Yes. For UC Davis and UCSB my son was notified a few weeks earlier than his peers that he recieved the scholarship (just based off his UC application) For UCLA he was notified in early Feb he was a “top candidate” and to submit an essay. For UC Berkeley, he was notified in mid Feb that he is "assured a spot for the fall 2014, and invited him to interview for the Regents and Chancellor scholar. He did end up receiving the scholarship at UCLA and CAL. He choose CAL and is very happy!</p>
