Is it really only 40 spots for transfers??
I wonder how many invites they send out based on those 40 spots, since not everyone who gets an invite gets the scholarship.
If I had to guess, maybe 200-300?
I read somewhere that everyone in the top 1% of applications are sent an invite. So I’m guessing at least 200 or more students are invited.
Sad thing is that you can get a regents invite but still get rejected lmao
That’s supposed to be incredibly rare. The VAST majority of the time, if you get the invite, you’re in.
yeah but it’s still crazy to me you can still get rejected (~90% acceptance rate IIRC). All of Berkeley’s invitees got in regardless of whether or not they actually got the scholarship (freshman).
Yeah it is a little ridiculous that they can’t just admit those invitees
Hopefully, regents invite notifications come out tomorrow
Are there any factors that are considered for regants? Or do you need to have a 4.0 to be invited?
invitations are given out to the top 1-2% of applicants. Don’t know how they decide that but hoping GPA & Units taken are a big factor.
I’m curious if the invite is only for CA residents
To my knowledge all entering freshmen and transfers are eligible to be selected. I think there’s some other minimum requirements but oos are included. I don’t think international students are eligible though, unfortunately.

Those who are hopeful for the reagants I am curious what are your stats?

The issue is my major. Most CS acceptances have 4.00 so its hard to differentiate and potentially award regents to one of them. Hopeful but at the same time not.

I think my gpa for my major is too low, (for econ gpa range is 3.83-4.0) it is tooooo competitive. Since I am a one-year transfer most of my transfer Units come from the APs I took in HS (about 32 units), and due to the short time period I have until transfer, I really don’t have time to take many class to build up my GPA. In fact, I only have one B on my transcript but the total classes I took are not enough to sort of average it out ughhhh.
-
I didn’t get TAP certified because I literally don’t have enough time to complete the honor’s program.
-
Also due to the pandemic I don’t really have any cc college experience to talk about…
-
I head that we have double the amount of transfer applicants this year compared to last year so… fingers crossed
Schools Applied: UCLA,UCB,UCSD,UCI(TAG)
BEST OF LUCK for everyone!!! Last year was really a mess and we tried our best to survive, now we are almost there, we deserve what we put in! No matter what the outcome is, I am so proud of ALL OF YOU!!
