UCLA Regents Scholarship

<p>Does getting the regents letter pretty much mean you got in? Is it too early to "pop the champagne"? lol</p>

<p>i already popped the champagne after getting the invite. lol</p>

<p>Non-alcoholic champagne, I presume?</p>

<p>apple cider that has a champagne bottle.</p>

<p>So if you didn't get the invitation today, does that mean that you didn't qualify for merit aid at all? I'm confused...I hope not, because I was depending on merit aid.</p>

<p>You have other opportunities for merit aid, I'm sure, and I think the Regents invite is still coming out, as some people got their's on different days.</p>

<p>I heard somewhere that they only consider the two essays and recs? idk.</p>

<p>i was actually told this when i went to the regents scholar banquet last year, but i mean if you just use common sense it's obvious that not everyone who received a regents invite is on the same level. obviously some people are stronger than others, and while they're all above a certain cut-off point (the 1.5% top applicants...or so they say) that doesn't mean they're all the same. they don't just base it on the essays and the recs. they have to re-evaluate your entire application to see if you're the type of student to whom they want to be awarding UCLA's most prestigious reward.</p>

<p>Thanks, that's what I was hoping to hear.</p>

<p>So they're still coming out? Anybody know when the flow stops? ;)</p>

<p>I'm confused. On the regents website that madamebovary posted it says " Letters of invitation are mailed to students during the first week of February." but you guys are getting them earlier than that? Is this not accurate..?</p>

<p>well the due date is feb 16, so i mean it would be very rushed if you got the invitation on the first week of feb- IMO.</p>

<p>yeah and only a handful of kids get them. If you dont have a 3.9 AND have a sat about 2200/2250 then dont expect one because only the cream of the crop of applicants are getting the regents offer</p>

<p>I just got a letter from UCLA about scholarships but it didn't mention me being selected or the Regents scholarship. The filer's name is Regents of the University of California UCLA Student Acct... I took a UCLA course over the summer, could this be related to it or is the Regents scholarship?</p>

<p>umm...the letter only invites you to apply for the scholarship. it by no means guarantees that you will be selected for it.</p>

<p>hey guys... i've tried to type in the application link from the letter about 10 times, but it says something about a secured channel. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.fao.ucla.edu/regents_app/regents_application_freshmen.aspx%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.fao.ucla.edu/regents_app/regents_application_freshmen.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Can someone give me or pm me the link? Or in general help me out?</p>

<p>it's what you have, but HTTPS. gotta get the S in there</p>

<p>ohhh! thanks!</p>

<p>I believe this misconception has been addressed many times, but I will say it once again..</p>

<p>IF YOU RECEIVE AN INVITATION TO APPLY, THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE ADMISSION.</p>

<p>i was expecting some nasty essays for this application, but the essays are surprisingly short and to the point. props to UCLA!</p>

<p>indeed! hello jonathan</p>
