<p>Does anyone know what is going on with the Regents? From the UCLA blog I am seeing that people invited to apply for the Regents at UCLA were rejected from UCLA tonight.</p>

<p>yea i am one of them- -</p>

3

<p>Yes I am one of them as well.
I will give UCLA a call if I get rejected by Cal as well, but really, it was quite surprising to see the rejection.</p>

<p>shouldnt occur. at the ucb interview they say specifically you've been admitted, so for them not to admit you would be a great mistake</p>

5

<p>make sure u call. Don't even wait for UCB decisions, just call ASAP</p>

6

<p>Really?! That's crazy.</p>

7

<p>It is clearly stated that regents doesn't guarantee admission..
I don't see the point of calling .</p>

<p>I think it's pretty simple. Cal guarantees admission if you're invited for Regents interview, and UCLA does not.</p>

<p>It's a tough situation and I'm sorry about it. Hope it all works out for you!</p>

<p>^</p>

<p>vc08 is right. i mean if you think about it, LA doesn't even talk to you in person. its just a really simple online app. "guaranteed in" is just Cal's way of making you excited for their school.</p>

<p>that said... i think the whole situation is ridiculous. UCLA definitely shouldn't do that to people.</p>

<p>vestige:</p>

<p>were you ELC? Any idea on your class rank?</p>

11

<p>How can you be the top 2% and not the top 22% unless the rankings for regents and general admissions are not the same.
If they use the same rankings, the only thing I can think of is mistaken invites by UCLA or phishing pranks.</p>

<p>PS: did you apply to Engineering?</p>

13

<p>It appears that one of the people on the UCLA board reporting this later noticed that they were talking about Alumni Scholarships and not Regents - a different kettle of fish. Not sure about the three others - wonder what Admissions said when they called.</p>

14

<p>good point, rider. Alumni scholarship e-mails go out to every applicant.</p>

<p>I heard the UCs might be dumping 10,000 or more eligible students, this year. I also heard that UCB was trying not to do that.</p>
