@Laketahoe79 , thanks. He did not apply to UCSB. He applied to Cal, but hasn’t gotten anything from them (we weren’t expecting Regent’s or anything at Cal).
Hi all, don’t be shocked if your kids don’t get UCI Regents with high stats. Few years ago, my son received Regents from Berkeley and UCLA but not from UCSD, UCI, and UCD. It’s all holistic.
@StevenToCollege Interesting. My D didn’t get Berkeley Regents invite, but received UCSB and UCI. I thought it’s very reasonable since Berkeley is the top 1 in the UC system, extremely competitive.
I know some high profile kids didn’t apply UCSB or UCI in my D’s high school, so she got a chance to get the Regents from these two schools.
It’s not all about stats. I have heard applicants with SAT in the 1300s got invited for Berkeley Regents. That’s why I said it’s all holistic.
Did any other electrical engineering/computer engineering applicants get an invitation email to the Fast Track to Success Program? I received the invitation email today, but I am not sure whether it means I am admitted…
I don’t like this holistic process, so subjective. How to make sure there is no manipulation or inside trading.
@FormerCalBear there is one girl at my D’s school who said she was admitted to UCLA back in January.
If you don’t like it for UCs, you probably are going to hate the holistic process for the elite private schools.

just got alum scholarship email
My son just got the alumni scholarship email.
i also just got an alumni scholarship email. does it mean anything? my mom is an alum so could that be why?
I didn’t get an email. It might mean something if it wasn’t sent to everyone
I got it too, but I already applied because I thought the deadline was up.
just got the email too
I bet Regents will come out today as well
Lol never mind to my other message I just got it too.
My D just got the alumni scholarship email.
I just got the alumni scholarship email!
I’m guessing everyone got it, and it means nothing. Really, schools don’t give any advance hints in terms of admittance.
