<p>I received one from UCLA last week, but I haven’t heard anything about it from Cal. The deadline for the UCLA one is March 30 and it requires 2 letters of rec and an essay, so they should be coming out very soon for Cal if they are not already out. Then again Cal may have a later deadline to submit the application.</p>
<p>ahh congrats!</p>
<p>now if anyone gets anything from cal plz post…</p>
<p>eanicich, what exactly did you receive from UCLA? I didn’t receive anything, does that mean they aren’t going to accept me?</p>
<p>regent letters are a sufficient condition for acceptance</p>
<p>eanicich, what’s your stat?</p>
<p>wait… so I guess you don’t have to be from a CCC to get regents?</p>
<p>I am confused because you don’t seem to meet the below criteria for the Regent’s scholarship:</p>
<p>"Academic Criteria
• Freshman Applicants: Selection criteria can vary from year to year depending upon the applicant pool.
• Transfer Applicants: Requires a GPA of 4.0 in all coursework. Must enter UCLA as a junior transfer from a California community college.</p>
<p>Aren’t you coming from another UC…and have 3.9 gpa?? What did the letter say?</p>
<p>Ohh I didn’t know about that. Doesn’t apply to me though. I am coming from a California community college as a junior transfer but I have a 3.46 UC transferable GPA.</p>
<p>Right, I am coming from another UC and my gpa is 3.92. I was a little surprised myself. Basically it just said you have been selected to apply for the UCLA Regents Scholarship. It included some info on how and where to apply, but still does not mean I was even accepted yet. </p>
<p>I have all A’s with a couple A-'s. Maybe since some ccc don’t use a plus/minus system, my gpa was sufficiently close to a 4.0 (and would be considered a 4.0 at some ccc) that they went ahead and invited me to apply. I wouldn’t make too much of it at this point as it is just based on a preliminary review of your record.</p>
<p>Smith415, I wouldn’t be too worried if you didn’t get anything yet. It may come in the mail soon, and even if it doesn’t by no means is that an indication you won’t get in.</p>
<p>also the website states that “transfer students are invited to compete for the Regents scholarship each year and have, historically, maintained a cumulative 4.0 GPA at their prior colleges.” So I guess it’s not completely necessary to have a 4.0, just “historically” that has been the case.</p>

<p>Thanks eanicich for the low-down.</p>
<p>arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr</p>
<p>can’t wait any longer :(</p>
<p>4/30 is inhumane</p>
<p>I know!! and I know people would tell me to be patient…but i am NOT patient…:(</p>
<p>i wonder for those who got accepted to uci, what made them got their accpetence letter earlier?..and congrats!</p>
<p>just wondering… do people chosen for regents ever get rejected? i’m not talking about getting admission rescinded or anything, but the admission decision</p>
<p>no… regents = in</p>
<p>i just read my previous post… sorry it was confusing… i meant the people chosen to APPLY for the regents… do they ever get rejected? of course, in april, regents = acceptance, but just to clarify. thanks!!</p>
<p>not sure about UCLA, but I read on the berkeley forum that if you’re notified, you get the scholarship</p>
<p>Currently attending Los Rios Colleges and Berkeley Community College.
My stats:
In-state
Major: English
Major P/R: (2/4 although you only need 2 to declare an English major at Cal) Taking Shakespeare 1 at ARC and English 85B (equal to 45B at Cal) at Berkeley Community College this semester.
GPA: 3.44 (due to two C’s I earned when I first started community college otherwise it would be more along the lines of 3.7+, but for the past year all of my grades have been A’s)
Transcript:
-Last semester I had a huge schedule (24 units, ended with all A’s and two W’s which are explained below) and this semester I have 19 units (so far acing all my class)
-I have a few W’s (7, 2 from last semester but one was for a math class that turned out to not be transferable so now I’m taking a transferable one for my IGETC and the other was an art class that I just didn’t have time for because of work) but most were due to scheduling conflicts and/or the class was completed at a later time with an A
IGETC: Yes (will be completed by the end of the Spring semester
Admissions essays: Pretty good (would rate the first two as A/B and my third as a B/B- but I’d be interested in someone reading over them and giving me their honest opinion)
E/C: Elected member of student council (although I’m not taking classes at that CC anymore), member of Transfer Club, member of Poet’s club, English tutor, worked in my sister’s classroom as an assistant while taking a semester off from school</p>
<p>Applied to: Cal, UCLA, UCD, UCSB, UCSC</p>
<p>My goal is Cal but UCLA would be nice too. UCD, UCSB and UCSC I’m considering my match/safety schools. What do you guys think my chances are?</p>
<p>Erm, I meant 16 units fall semester… have NO idea why I typed 24 instead.</p>
<p>i think someone from this board was rejected from ucla last year even after getting invited to apply for reagent. He did have a 4.0 gpa. So I’m guessing for ucla that it’s not 100 percent guarentee that you’re accepted if you are invited for reagents.</p>
