<p>Did you get a message on your portal?</p>
<p>I got an email than checked my Financial aid and I have the scholarship… 4.0 poli sci. Not a first Gen. 22 and Independent from parents</p>
<p>Awesome congratulations! </p>
<p>Thanks! still in shock</p>
<p>Seems odd that this person is the only one to get it and that was their first post. Has anyone else received it?</p>
<p>Nothing for me either. I really want/need it. :(</p>
<p>Ya, I’ve been lurking for a minute now and figured it’d be a help to create an account and let you guys know… A lot of good info on this site.</p>
<p>Same here. I am literally dying to get it. Otherwise I will not be able to go to school… </p>
<p>I doubt I’ll get it but if I do…I would need oxygen immediately 
</p>
<p>Just got off the phone with someone from financial aid, he said that everyone who has been awarded regents has probably been notified already 
</p>
<p>So weird only 1 person posted about getting it. Wonder how many they gave out. … oh well off to enjoy my summer and withdraw my admission to berkeley :(</p>
<p>@lamelcriada why are you withdrawing your admission???</p>
<p>Long story but basically they are charging me oos tuition even though I’m a ca resident and I’m not allowed to receive any kind of state or fed aid. So unless I win the lottery this summer, I won’t be able to afford it . It’s ok though I was kind of expecting it</p>
<p>Why are they charging you out of state? Have you lived here more than two years? Do you parents live out of state @lamelcriada </p>
<p>your*</p>
<p>@lamelcriada </p>
<p>If at least one of your parents isn’t a California resident and you are under the age of 24, then you’ll be charged OOS tuition. If you’ve lived in California for about a year or less, this too will cause you to be considered an OOS student. Does this describe your current situation?</p>
<p>If not, you might want to call Berkeley’s financial aid office. They may have made a mistake.</p>
<p>Like I said it’s a long story (boring) and unfortunately Is not a mistake. I talked about my situation briefly in my ps hoping it would help me get the regents but guess not. Thanks for the info though @Cayton </p>
<p>@pdib818 Could you please paste the complete wording of your email notification, with your name blanked out? Please understand that this situation is obviously suspicious. Thank you.</p>
