Just thought I’d start a thread about this email. Seems like last year, 94% of people who received this email were eventually admitted.
Can you all post your stats and whether you received the email or not? For reference, mine are:
3.93 UW
4.23 UC Capped
4.53 UC Uncapped
1570 SAT
3x 800 SAT 2’s
and I did NOT receive the email
“94% of people who received this email were eventually admitted”
Where did you get that information?
The percentage seemed high.
I received the email, here are my stats:
34 ACT
4.48 weighted
4.33 UC capped
The correlation is about 60% of students who get the email will end up getting in. No data on those who don’t. @StevenToCollege
Email is an invitation email sent to specific applicants. The actual email is a generic message. Regents is notified at admission and there is no app. Applying or not applying has no effect on admission.
Here is a link that may or may not help: http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-los-angeles/1458538-ucla-alumni-scholarship-invitation-p1.html. They say here it is only based on stats so that is why I was also confused. I have a 4.27 UC GPA and 35 ACT.
Could the stats be dependent on the major you are applying to? @hopefulchild what is the major you are applying to?
@momtomusicians if it is, it may make more sense. I am applying to Computer Science, which is very impacted. My friend with similar stats got the email but she is applying to Bio.
And how does this work if you applied to a specialty major like their nursing program? Would they still offer Alumni or Regents Scholarships? Lastly, are these emails coming to your regular email acct or through the portal?
Hey, I applied engineering, and two of my friends with similar stats applied Bio and got it. One of my friends with perfect stats who applied engineering didn’t get it. CS & engineering may be more competitive for this thing, I guess.
@805Mommp Yes it doesn’t matter. Alumni scholarship emails are sent to whatever email you listed and are decided by them.
@DieLit Again its decided by the alumni scholarship committee. Major doesn’t matter. Its just a general group.
I feel underqualified. 1440 SAT (740/700), 790 Math II, 680 US HIstory.
I received the email.
1530 SAT
4.42 weighted
4.29 UC capped
@DieLit where did your 94% stat come from? Was it released anywere? In fact of anyone knows where it came from, plz lmk 
@letsgorams Sorry for the super bowl loss. Lol. That user was wrong and was spreading misinformation. He is also banned rn so he cannot log in and respond.
@10s4life what is the difference between “banned” and “time out” Is there some place on this board where it is listed?
@lkg4answers Depends on the severity of the users breach of the CC Terms of Service. Reasons and lists are not posted for general viewing.
Sorry, I’ll make myself clear: the information I posted was from a survey done in another (banned) forum website. Nonresponse bias probably played a factor in that survey, which is where I got the skewed 94% figure from. Sorry bout that.
