<p>taint-talking low 600s on the math with 2020 overall and some really cool ECs.</p>
<p>Yeah I was sad when I got regents for Berkeley but not UCLA, but I decided to go to UCLA…</p>
<p>Um, for those who received a Regents Scholarship for UCLA, what did your application looked like? It asks for your goals and a course that you would like to take at UCLA… Are those questions really important? Do they define your application status? How did you answer those two essay questions? I was asked to compete and I really don’t want to mess this up.</p>
<p>I said that my goal is to become some kind of health care professional, maybe a pediatrician. I also said that I wanted to open an orphanage (not in the U.S.- and I really do want to open one. It’s not just to make my application look pretty.) And a course I wanted to take was U.S. History 1954-1975.</p>
<p>Can anyone shed some light on this for me?</p>
<p>I’ve just received a letter for Regents at UCLA as a transfer student and was really excited about it… until I saw that a 4.0 GPA was required. I had a 4.0 my whole freshman year, then last semester I dropped to a 3.88 (I was in the hospital for five weeks and was barely able to finish!), so now a have a cumulative of 3.95.<br>
I have a pretty solid idea for my essay, good EC’s, hopefully a good letter of rec, and have had a pretty unique academic experience, so that might make me more competitive. Still, I can’t figure out where that leaves me because of my GPA. What do you think am I not qualified/do you really think they meant to give me a letter? Was it a mistake? Should I even bother applying?</p>
<p>Any and all insight would be much appreciated! Thanks a million in advance!</p>
<p>I actually spoke with a transfer Regents student in September. I asked her about the 4.0 GPA requirement for transfer students, and she said that a GPA “close to 4.0” was good enough, or something along those lines. That was just a light conversation, though, not too sure how accurate it is.</p>
