<p>Hi all,
I received a letter from UCLA regents. They are asking for a 3 min video to demonstrate personal qualities. Can anyone of you suggest what should I do in that video. I am confused.</p>
<p>a video? that’s so weird. i applied for regents, but i haven’t heard anything yet.</p>
<p>a video? really?</p>
<p>i got a letter from ucla regents asking for an essay…
i dont think you can apply for regents…</p>
<p>You apply for Regents, but you apply when they invite you to. A video is just plain odd, though. Are you sure this is for the Regents Scholarship, and not just something weird the Regents are asking you to do?</p>
<p>Yeah they invited me for the regenst scholarship. They want me to submit transcripts, recommendation letter and a 3 min video.</p>
<p>Congratulations, good luck and color me baffled. It seems totally weird that they’re asking for a video from you unless you’ve previous sent such materials in, or they’re looking at you in terms of a particular performance achievement.</p>
<p>But mostly congratulations/good luck. :)</p>
<p>whoa whoa i got invited to apply for regents, and all i had to do was submit the 250 word essay and 2 recommendations. when did u get this letter??</p>
<p>I applied as a transfer student so i don’t know if they have different system altogether for transfer student as compared to freshmans.</p>
<p>I also applied as a transfer, so perhaps the requirements are different. </p>
<p>I have no idea what to put in the video. My talents are not visually oriented, so do I just show myself talking about my goals? Twirling a flaming baton? Yeesh, I wish there was any info out there about what they expected!</p>
<p>Gun & Shab - My advice, for what it’s worth, is to think in terms of a picture paints a thousand words! Reveal things about yourself that will make you stick out! Add some humour and there you go! Good luck!</p>
<p>when do we find out about regents?? i’m guessing thru the mail, bcuz i didn’t see anything about it on my admission page…</p>
<p>Syawn - Check your email! My son just this minute rec’d word that he had been awarded Regent’s! Good luck to you!</p>
<p>That’s awesome news! </p>
<p>I’m guessing the notifications are staggered by a month for transfers, like the UC admissions process. At least, I hope so, since my application doesn’t have to be in by April 1st (and won’t be), so if it’s first come, first served… well, it’ll save me having to borrow a videocamera. :P</p>
<p>Shabbosmonkey, please borrow the camera! A certain number of awards go to the frosh and a certain number go to transfers! You might even have fun doing it! Don’t think twice - GO FOR IT!!!</p>
<p>Actually… it says a 3 min CD or DVD… So I guess it can be either audio or video.</p>
