Update on UC Applications for 2016

All of the recent requirement changes for the UC’s can be confusing.  

 

To help you figure it all out, I’ve laid out exactly what’s needed for freshmen and transfer applicants below. 

 

1. Freshmen must send SAT, ACT, and/or TOEFL scores to one UC

2. All students must mail UCs about any changes (senior classes, grades below C, or changing schools)

3. Transfer students need to log in to their applications and update fall term grades and planned spring courses by Jan 31st on the Transfer Application Update

4. All students seeking financial aid or scholarships should complete the FAFSA before March 2nd

 

1. Neither freshmen nor transfer students need to send fall transcripts now unless specifically asked to do so

2. Don’t call the admissions offices to inquire about your application status

3. Don’t send resumes, portfolios, DVDs, or any items to the admissions office

 

The waiting game can be stressful for students and parents.  Check your email inbox frequently to see if anything is missing from your application packages, and send whatever they request ASAP. 

 

Good luck!
