<ul>
<li>I got scholorship emails months back from both UCLA & CAL</li>
<li><p>I got a job posting email from CAL asking me if I wanted to do workstudy</p></li>
<li><p>However, I haven’t gotten a single acceptance letter from any UCs, yet</p></li>
</ul>
<p>^Everyone got the job posting.</p>
<p>i never got any emails from ucla or cal scholarships, wth?</p>
<p>Yep, you are right I just read their website. This is merit based; however, I have a 3.82, TAP, and honors so based on their basic criteria, I qualify. </p>
<p>HOWEVER</p>
<p>I have not recieved a call, nor did I ever get an e-mail from them on scholarship, so I would have to say, this is a good sign for those who got the call. </p>
<p>I will just sit and weep in the corner for now and hope CAL is more favorable.</p>
<p>Of course, the phone calls may have something to do with completly different circumstances. Race, location of CC, parents income, major, random phone calls. </p>
<p>BUT I AM ONE OF THOSE THAT LIKE THE WILD SPECULATION AND THEORIES. I wish the housing theories didnt stop, those were getting comical.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think that means we’re in.</p>
<p>omg… scholarship emails or whatever don’t even determine if you’re in or not. Yeah, it might make you feel good to get them, but you know they hand over your information to a third party which takes care of the scholarship crap, and they have no idea what’s going on with your admission. It has nothing to do with your admission.</p>
<p>Nope… I know people from last year who got emails, but didn’t get in</p>
<p>Diamond - your killing my buzz</p>
<p>I love how Goon6man actually took Lost seriously.</p>
<p>Verdet, it kind of seems like you’re compensating for not receiving the e-mails/ calls by bragging about how you don’t need those scholarships anyway. No, the people who received the calls aren’t all poor, or all white/asian/black or whatever. It may be just that they haven’t gotten to you yet.</p>
<p>oh my diamond you have gone to personal attacks, you should lighten up. </p>
<p>I do not need scholarship money and certainly would hate to take it from someone who does. If you find that bragging, so be it. I have not got called and it DOES concern me, but that has nothing to do with need. </p>
<p>That being said, my point was exactly what you are saying, the scholarship calls may be based completly on something else, and of course, it may mean something also. </p>
<p>I would perfer to be in the “called” category.</p>
<p>I don’t know about transfers, but at UCB, alumni scholorships are awarded to those with top GPA in freshman year. It’s there to motivate people to have a solid start and to continue the hard work.</p>
<p>Alumni scholorship is the next prestigious scholorship after Regent.</p>
<p>Blahhh don’t take it as a personal attack.</p>
<p>It’s just that many (including myself) are in the same boat as you… I never applied for scholarships because I could be taking it away from someone who needed it. But then a counselor explained to me that there is plenty of need-based money given out, and that sometimes donors only look to give it to those who need it.</p>
<p>And screw UCLA I’d call you ;D</p>
<p>haha</p>
<p>aim:gochat?roomname=collegeconfidential</p>
<p>4 people in room.</p>
<p>The phone call has turned into the new “I can see my housing application”. </p>
<p>As much as I believe that thing means nothing, I was still happy I can see my application on the housing site. </p>
<p>This process is stressfull and every little thing gets blowin way out of perspective. I wish all the UC’s posted at the same time instead of this stagger thing. I think it would make the stress less.</p>
<p>my theory: those who didn’t get any emails from cal are in</p>
<p>Dude, I haven’t even heard from Davis yet. I have a 3.9, and it makes me feel as I had some glaring mistake on my app because I haven’t been accepted to any UC thus far. At least you have UCSD!</p>
<p>Hmm, I knew that pain until 3 days ago. </p>
<p>What is your major…nah with a 3.9 that is not a borderline GPA unless Haas or some other hyper competitive major. </p>
<p>If you have all your pre-reqs, IGETC, ccc student, this is just a timing problem and they haven’t gotten to it yet. </p>
<p>YOU ARE FINE. Relax… </p>
<p>I would only panic if you are short 60 credits. Otherwise, it’s coming!</p>
<p>My major is political science, and the buzz is that this year, it’s highly competitive… </p>
<p><em>cries</em></p>
<p>diamond: i haven’t heard from UCD yet either, and i’m not really sweating it - they send out admissions until the end of april; there are many people who already received rejection letters.</p>
<p>do you have any idea of the general ballpark GPA of the folks you know who got rejected?</p>
