Tips on UC Admissions
For all of you seniors who are waiting to hear from UCs, here’s a quick update.
– You should hear from all UCs by March 31st.
– If you receive an invitation to be placed on a waitlist, you need to respond. You are not automatically placed on the waitlist.
– If you are on a waitlist for your #1 college, you still need to accept and pay the deposit to another college to ensure that you are going to college in the fall. You will lose your deposit from – that college if you are accepted to and plan to attend your #1 college (waitlisted on).
– If you are positive you want to attend the UC you’ve been accepted to, submit your Statement of Intent (SIR) with your $250 deposit before May 1st.
– Sign up for Orientation ASAP; some colleges require that students attend Orientation before the start of the new term.
– Submit all high school and college transcripts, AP/IB and or A-Level exam results by July 15th. Make sure you receive a C- or better in all classes; colleges may rescind enrollment to students whose grades have dropped below a C-.
– Withdraw your application from other campuses after you decide where you are going to college; this gives colleges the opportunity to offer enrollment to waitlisted students.
