Not feeling too great about my chances, but I thought I would apply just to know for sure. Anyone think I have a decent shot?
If there is a very specific/hard to find course requirement that your college doesn’t have, if you get accepted into UCLA would you have to make up the prerequisite of that class, or would they just waive it and allow you to take classes for your major in upper division?
@InTheNightSky95 Thanks! Some of the course descriptions for the prereqs are vague (its a humanities major so its not like a certain math or science) so I will have to have a counselor tell me what I need during what I presume would be a summer counselor meeting (?) If I get in that is lol.
@orlyx6 I got the Regents for UCI, and I have a 3.98.
UCSB does not offer Regents for transfers.
UC Davis offers Regents for transfers, but transfers have to submit a letter of recommendation by January; no interview is required.
In recent years, UCLA has sent out invitations to Regents qualifiers before they released their decisions. But for some reason this year, it seems like they are changing things up and notifying Regents qualifiers upon decision day or sometime afterwards.
UC Berkeley notifies Regents Scholars sometime after decisions are sent out, and from what I’ve read on this forum, they do not do interviews for transfers; transfers either get it or they don’t.
UCSD notifies people by May 1st; no interview is required.
I don’t know about the rest of the UCs.
In general, with an emphasis on GPA, they determine each Regents Scholar based on a holistic review. If you got a 4.0 and did not receive the Regents from UCI in particular, that meant you did not, overall, stand out to them as much as the other GPA qualified applicants (3.9+). For more details on how UCs select their Regents Scholars, search their individual websites.
