The University of California (UC) admission process involves several key steps. First, applicants must complete the UC application, available online from October 1 to November 30. There is no early decision or action.
Applicants must submit academic transcripts, standardized test scores (if applicable), and personal insight questions. Each UC campus reviews applications independently, considering factors like GPA, coursework rigor, extracurricular activities, and personal achievements.
Admission decisions are typically released in March. Accepted students must submit final transcripts and confirm enrollment by May 1. Some programs may require additional materials or interviews.
