<p>I can’t seem to access the site it says there’s an error, can anyone type the link.</p>
<p>My friend got his invite in the mail on Saturday. When he told me, I was really disappointed, since we have similar scores and GPAs. But then I got mine today and all is well.</p>
<p>So they offer applications to around 800 and only give out 100 in the end…so what’s the acceptance rate, given that a lot of those 800 will go elsewhere? Just curious.</p>
<p>edit: They say that Regent applicants will be notified of their award at the time of their admissions in mid-March. So I’m assuming that means that we’re already in for sure? I guess you could say that it just means if you get the award, but I’m thinking it just means they’ll tell you whether or not you got the scholarship then.</p>
<p>how many people get regeants?</p>
<p>rooster08, just because you didn’t get it and somebody else did, doesn’t mean that its random.</p>
<p>people who got regents, what is your SAT scores and GPA??</p>
<p>I got regents with a 4.4 and 1950 SAT score at Cal only though. Didn’t hear a word from LA … still ended up choosing LA over Berkeley tho :D</p>
<p>V4runC001, are you an applicant of Fall 2008?
Did anyone already get regents?</p>
<p>Rooster08:
Stanford admission is the same random stuff. I know a non-atheletic guy with 1700 SAT got into Stanford while another person with 2370 was rejected.</p>
<p>Professor101, was the 1700 guy the one on the Stanford forums? Because that guy was pretty impressive and had URM.</p>
<p>HRM… My question is, do you have to apply for financial aid to be considered for regents at LA?</p>
<p>I’m asking this because I got regents for CAL, but not UCLA… which is weird -___-</p>
<p>And if they do only select from California, then I don’t get it… because I got the Siemens AP Award for Cali and I think my other areas are strong too… GRAWR…</p>
<p>Sorry, I’m just being bitter because I like UCLA better than Cal T.T <em>tears</em></p>
<p>And UCLA regents get more benefits… priority registration!!! 
<em>jealous</em></p>
<p>Aww, I want to switch places with you! As much as I like UCLA, I’ve always been a Cal fangirl and I was pretty upset when I didn’t get the Regents offer from Cal. I didn’t apply for financial aid, but I got the UCLA one anyways. I think they just assess the applicants differently – I wish I knew how, exactly.</p>
<p>I received the Regents Scholarship in Fall of 08. I came from a CCC with a 4.0 and strong personal statements. I have been told by a reliable source that “life experience” and the overcoming of adverse obstacles seems to be nice pluses to an application. I was not involved in any E.C.'s. Also, for the Fall of 08 400 were initially chosen to apply and 20 were offered the scholarship.</p>
<p>The regent’s scholorship is different amounts at different UC’s. Does anyone know what it is at UCLA this coming school year (for freshmen 2009-10)? Also, has anyone gotten more than one regent’s scholorship offer from different UC’s? My theory is you can only get one, but not sure. Just curious.</p>
<p>regents at ucla and cal are VERY different. UCLA’s is very stat driven and cal’s is not apparently. i have never really seen anyone get both.</p>
<p>i got regents from UCLA and UCI, but not UCB cuz i didnt get into Haas!!</p>
<p>with financial aids and regents scholarship combined, i got full rides to both UCLA and UCI but i chose UCLA over UCI cuz i think biz econ at UCLA is way better. </p>
<p>for UCLA regents this Fall 09, it’s $2000 honorarium regardless of ur need and if u need more than that (based on ur EFC in fafsa) then ucla will give u more (i believe its up to $6,900 and considered as univ. scholarship).</p>
<p>I only got the regents from UCLA. From what I know, I have a full-ride for UCLA based on the financial aid notification that i just accepted today. Here’s my stats:</p>
<p>-1990 SAT
-4.68 GPA
-a couple extracurrics (mainly clubs actually, no sports or academic decathlon-too lazy for that)
-salutatorian
-vietnamese female</p>
<p>Because I submitted my FAFSA by the appropriate deadlines, etc, and my EFC is 0 (I’m from a single-mom family, annual income ~$8000/yr), I think that’s why I was awarded a ton of university scholarships to cover the rest of my need. So no loans needed! Woo! I would’ve had to borrow at least 20,000 a year if I only had loans to go on @@.</p>
<p>To me, the Regents is very random too, the valedictorian of my school didn’t get regents, and she was very deserving as well. </p>
<p>However, I do think Regents is a life-saver for someone who is around the poverty-line but does want and strives for an education at the UC’s. For me, I am definitely grateful to be a regents scholar at UCLA!</p>
<p>Hi Tsukamaru, I guess I’ll be meeting you very soon! I also got Regents this year, with a 4.38 GPA and 2140 SAT. I honestly wanted to go to Cal, but financial factors made me change my mind. I still think Cal is “my” kind if place, with the dirtiness and craziness, but I think I’d hate it if I were swamped with studies and work to pay my way through.</p>
<p>The valedictorian of my class was also invited to apply for Regents but he didn’t get everything done on time… Lol</p>
<p>This one girl however, who never took any AP classes and did a few extracurrics (college club, decath, NHS- basically things I never joined) got Regents for Cal but turned that down for the Culverson schol. Yeah, idk about anything like this anymore</p>
<p>Just happy with my finaid~</p>
<p>i got regents as well this year, with a 4.3 GPA and a 1930 SAT… and technically a full ride as well.</p>
<p>nothing from Cal though
but who cares, im happy to be a regents scholar at UCLA =]</p>
<p>Is the initial invitation to apply based totally on GPA and SAT scores or would things like being a published author mitigate a low math test score?</p>
<p>^ How low are we talking about here?
You need good stats + strong personal statements + ec’s…</p>
