The University of California San Diego (UCSD) admission process involves several steps. First, applicants must submit the UC application by November 30 for fall admission. Required materials include academic transcripts, standardized test scores (if applicable), and personal insight questions.
UCSD reviews applications holistically, considering academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and personal experiences. Selected candidates may receive additional requests, such as letters of recommendation. Admission decisions are typically released by March. Admitted students must submit final transcripts and accept their offer by June 1. Transfer students follow a similar process but must complete prerequisite coursework.
