<p>Ok so based on my understanding. The “regent’s scholarhip inviation” e-mail means you have already been ACCEPTED to UCLA as a regular student. However, you still have to submit some rec letters and even more annoying essays to UCLA. I also read somewhere in an old 2004 UCLA regents scholarship thread that the school sends out an unusually large number of scholarships (800ish) and only a few (100ish). My friend also says that the situation is still like that today. My question to you people is whether or not anybody has more recent statistics for the scholarships?</p>
