UCLA Alumni Scholarship Interview

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

Hi! I got accepted to UCLA as a Regents Scholar and also invited to interview for the Alumni Scholarship. It’s supposed to be tomorrow at 3pm and will last 10-15 minutes long.

Is there anyone who has had this particular interview and received the scholarship? What exactly do they look for and what kind of questions do they ask? Will they tell you in advance who will be interviewing you? Any other tips/advice?

I’ve talked to a few alumni scholars but they said they didn’t get an interview. Why do some have to do an interview and others don’t? Does it relate to how much money you get?

I’m freaking out a little about tomorrow, would appreciate some help :slight_smile: thank you!

I’m assuming this is the local interview with an alum?

@alicantekid yep!!

It’s not in person, though. It’s a phone interview

@Melanie786 How did it go?

The questions were fairly easy (they asked about stuff like role models, creativity, events, leadership) . It was a phone interview and there were four people on the other end (which was kinda scary ngl). But I think it must’ve gone pretty well, because I got the scholarship!!
