UCLA Class of 2020 Applicant Discussion

does anyone know what time? lol

@Dizichen, No Scholarship or Aid for International as per UCLA Website.

Has anybody received regents invite??

I think it’s out around 6 pm

@dorothylewes Where did you find that out? I’ve been looking all over trying to figure out when the invites will be sent!!! Did you hear it from a credible source?

@dorothylewes Also do you know if that’s 6pm Pacific or Eastern time??

I just looked at previous threads and that’s what I’m guessing and pst since ucla is located in California

@dorothylewes Wait so no scholarships AT ALL for internationals??? I swear I’ve heard internationals get Regents before though…

@Dizichen https://www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/intl.htm if you scroll down to “Financial Information” it says that International students do not get any financial aid or scholarships? :\

@Dizichen Unfortunately as part of the new action by UC Regents international students don’t get financial aid since if they come to the country for college it is expected that they pay full tuition. OOS now no longer get need based aid to cover instate portion of tuition. OOS have never received need based aid for the OOS supplemental tuition. Since UCs are built to serve Californians the financial aid they used to use for OOS and international will now be used for boosting in state enrollment. It’s an unfortunate situation but it’s the way it is.

adding on to @10s4life I think it’s because Californians have been paying taxes for the educational system the entire time they’ve been living in CA, which is why they decided to make this rule?

Exactly. I live in CA and I know my parents pay taxes that help support the UC and CSU and CCC systems so CA get priority. Same for the other public institutions in the US. Only private schools care less where you live.

@Dizichen some UCs give regents to Internationals but not UCLA as mentioned in the website. I think UCB gives it to Internationals.

Well, it’s 6pm PST on February 1st. Anyone got anything yet? About regents?

I haven’t gotten any Regents emails. Haha I would just be happy to get in. I don’t think I’m a regents candidate. 4.0 UW, 4.5 UC, 4.7 uncapped UC and 4.6 for school. My test scores are a bit lower though. 2020 SAT and 31 ACT. Subject tests: 770 US History 750 Math 2 and 720 Bio E. Applied EE in HSSEAS

I haven’t gotten anything either… Are they sending them out later this year??

I guess so? Maybe wait till 9 pm, it should have been out by this time

How are the top 1.5% candidates for Regents decided? Is it based solely on GPA or what?

I believe it’s based on over all not only grades but ecs

I know I don’t have that great of a shot for Regent’s, but still, I can hope:-) My guess is that it is going to be on a Friday… from what I can tell, it has gone out on a Friday for most years in the past. Also, I’ve heard that UCLA’s usually comes out before Berkeley’s, and Berkeley has already stated that Regent’s invites will go out Friday Feb. 12th. So hopefully this Friday?..
