<p>When does the school let you know whether or not you will asked to apply for this? Is it the same time as freshman or later? Does anyone know if you need letters of recommendation as a transfer?</p>
<p>I got selected to apply for regents. Yes, you need a letter of rec and an essay.</p>
<p>Necroposting ftw.</p>
<p>do you have to maintain a 4.0 gpa?</p>
<p>Hm... that wasn't true for my case. I'm transferring from a good school, maintained about a 3.9 (at the time of application), and took courses that related to my intended major... yup yup</p>
<p>I know they choose approx 300 transfers to apply in addition to 1000 high school students. 100 get selected... does that mean I have a 100/1300 chance of getting it? That's pretty painful</p>
<p>No...</p>
<p>Transfer students are *SEPARATE *from freshmen admissions.</p>
<p>Generally, half of the 300-350 invited transfer applicants are chosen; thus, you have a 1 in 2 chance of being selected as opposed to 1 in 13.</p>
<p>can i exceed the 300 word max on the essay?</p>
<p>I was invited to apply to UCLA's Regents for transfers, as well. Unfortunately, my mom threw away the letter with the application URL, and I can't find it online for my life. Anyone mind posting it here?</p>
<p>Haha, ouch. ^</p>
<p>Here's the url:</p>
<p>Ektaylor: I'm not so sure it's quite that high for UCLA. Since 2003 they have only offered the Regent's Scholarship to approximately 32 transfer students (on average) each year. Historically, transfer students have between an 80-90% yield, so most that get it end up going to UCLA. </p>
<p>I didn't find the amount of applicants they actually extend the scholarship to while skimming those links, only those who chose to attend UCLA; and that number is naturally going to be low, as many strong applicants will choose other schools other UCLA (UCB, Ivy Leagues, etc).</p>
<p>Does it mention the amount they extend the scholarship to in the links?</p>
<p>Well, it does state the "take rate" and the "yield;" 90 percent in 2006, for example. They offered the scholarship to 50 transfer students and 45 decided to accept the offer.</p>
<p>can you still apply if you are not invited?</p>
<p>No. (10char)</p>
<p>I applied for the regents scholarship but I encountered a bug after submitting my essay. On the confirmation page, all of my indentions for my essay have been deleted so it looks like one big block of text. I didn't want the committee to see this weird formatting.</p>
<p>Anyway, I called the coordinator and she said all of the essays look like that so the committee won't judge badly. Its just strange to me because essays are supposed to have paragraphs, you know? :-p</p>
<p>Did this happen to anyone?</p>
<p>Happened to me.</p>
<p>Happened to me as well.. I was freaking out for a sec but realized there was nothing to be done.</p>
<p>Does anyone know when and how the results will be released?</p>
<p>We find out in early may. I know this guy last year that got one and they send you a large envelope with the award in it. So its like getting any other acceptance letter in the mail be on the look out for a large envelope from the ucla financial aid department.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>I just spoke to the financial aid office and they said that both the admissions and Regents results would be available May 1st.</p>
