UC Berkeley Regents' and Chancellor's Scholarship

<p>Wow! Congratulations referee!!! That’s awesome. However, I am worried about answering the question, why Berkeley? I feel like no answer is sufficient enough. What specifics should one point out? </p>

<p>Thanks so much for your help.</p>

<p>Good luck with the scholarship!</p>

<p>Whoops. I forgot to mention you can meet current scholars while checking in (accidentally stated other people who are interviewing and other prospective scholars - technically the same thing hahha). </p>

<p>Because I was not the interviewer and I honestly don’t know how it is decided who gets the scholarship, I don’t have any specifics that I think you should point out. I think the best thing is to act yourself. Don’t try to impress the professor; just act natural. And everyone has a different interviewer and experience so you might not even face this question in your interview.</p>

<p>Just wanted to confirm: our scholarship info (whether we get it or not) will be available on mar 24 on myBerkeleyapp, right?? I forgot what the check-in lady told us.</p>

<p>That’s correct.</p>

<p>^awesome. thanks :)</p>

<p>anyone find out anything about regents???</p>

<p>Yes, son admitted with Regents. Also admitted with Regents to UCLA and UCSD.</p>

<p>I’m really bummed I didn’t get the Regents Scholarship. That award would really have kept my enthusiasm running for Berkeley…</p>

<p>I’m feeling pretty down on the UC’s now. The professor who interviewed me was really inspirational and also said he was very impressed by my charisma and accomplishments. I was hoping that meant well :(</p>

<p>omg. im too scared to check to see if i got the scholarship! i really really want the regents scholarship!</p>

<p>@Napster: well, at least we got into Cal!</p>

I also did not get the scholarship, and I’m really bummed as well . . . my interview was only 20 minutes long and I didn’t connect with my interviewer that much, but I really wanted to get this scholarship. My friend was able to get it though. I ESPECIALLY wanted the scholarship for the priority class registration, which I’m sure is a huge help in berkeley. I read somewhere that if you are a strong student while in berkeley, you can also get the regents scholarship (albeit for 4 semesters instead of 8), can anyone tell me if this is true?</p>

<p>I got regents.</p>

<p>I got Regents to UCB! Also got Regents at UCD.</p>

<p>I also got the nomination but not the scholarship 3 years ago, but I didn’t care much for it. Don’t let it get you down, just the fact that you were nominated puts you above 90% of the freshman class. Priority registration might make the process slightly less stressful, but it’s not going to actually affect your schedules. I’ve been on a good amount of waitlists but have never not gotten into a class I needed. Same thing with all my friends. Also, you guys probably have more AP credit than others and will get good registration times anyway.</p>

<p>Ah, thanks for the kind words :slight_smile: It’s nice to know that it won’t be too big of a deal hopefully!</p>

<p>got regents!</p>

<p>Got regents! Is anyone doing the OHP? do you know what it is going to be like?</p>
