<p>I know different colleges look at different things within an applicant. But I am just wondering if one receives an invitation for regents scholarship from Cal and UCLA, can it be taken as a favorable sign for admission at top private schools, like the Ivys or Ivy level ones?</p>
<p>Just wondering if past regents recipients can post which other colleges they were expected in, that would be helpful</p>
<p>Thanks from a nervous senior awaiting for April</p>
<p>It is what it is.</p>
<p>You are only setting up yourself for bigger disappointments if the results in April do not reflect the opinions/guesses you will receive in this thread.</p>
<p>So enjoy the last few months of high school-it will never be that easy again.</p>
<p>My understanding is that Regents is given to the top tier of the applicant pool. You are obviously bright, and have elected to apply to Ivys in addition the UCB & UCLA. With that being said, are you guaranteed admission to an IVY with stellar credentials that have elicited a Regents Scholarship to UCB & UCLA…you already know the answer to that question. Hang in there & Good Luck!</p>
<p>It seems as though Regents invites are often given based on numbers, and while numbers may be enough to get you into state schools, provided you’re a resident, Ivies look more carefully at extracurricular involvement, etc. Not to mention admissions to top privates are a total crapshoot.</p>

<p>Regents’ invitations are relatively easy to get; to get into an Ivy League school that someone cares about (read: HYP), Stanford, or MIT, you either have to be at a Regents’ invitation recipient’s level. Then you need to have stellar academics (perfect… everything) (most don’t have this), or have something unique such as legacy/connection to the school, have been publicly featured in a significant manner, or have overcome very serious problems.</p>
<p>The ironic thing is that when it come time for grad school, all those top privates don’t give a crap about clubs or community service, or whatever people do to suck up.</p>
<p>(What does QFT mean?)</p>

<p>Ok, now I have to go find summaries for books I was supposed to have read. Second semester is not as fun as it’s supposed to be; my self-dignity is forcing me to avoid B’s for the most part, yet my laziness and desire to do my “to-do” list in reverse order of importance isn’t turning out so well. Now I’m wanting to take two days off school for the Cal trip, then maybe another two days for UCSD’s thing (they’re now calling people in a recruiting attempt, lol), argh, it’s probably these acceptances that are making me lazy… I seem to have gone off on a random tangent there.</p>
<p>But really, come April/May/June, the impetus to work will have disappeared from the hearts of seniors.</p>
<p>let’s just say, i know someone who’s invited for Cal regent but rejected for Stanford.
no questions please</p>
<p>Hi I was wondering if anyone knows when transfer notifications go out for Regents? Thanks :).</p>
<p>I think it’s April 1st or sometime a little after March 29th. Transfers find out when the day the acceptances/rejections are posted on the internet.</p>
<p>Celiheartscc… it goes both ways. I know someone who got the Regents and got accepted into Stanford. It really works both ways.</p>
<p>why do some ppl w/ regents’ invitation and even highly successful interviews get rejected in the end? is it b/c they didn’t maintain at least a 3.0 gpa in the end? and do they look at the weighted or unweighted gpa?</p>
<p>all it means is that you have the statistics to be competitive in the HYPSM applicant pool. But, essays, recs and EC’s matter much more at HYPSM than they do at the UCs, which are more numbers-based. Once your tests are all above 700, HPSM et al go looking at the rest of the app, but a ~2100 won’t get a Regent’s invitation, unless you have a huge hook.</p>

<p>“Celiheartscc… it goes both ways. I know someone who got the Regents and got accepted into Stanford. It really works both ways.”</p>
<p>But there are also people who don’t get the Regents invite and get into Stanford. Like me. :)</p>
<p>congrats vituoso,</p>
<p>maybe i will see you at stanford (not competely sure yet)</p>
<p>Cal Regent = Harvard acceptance = Stanford rejection</p>
