I'm planning on applying to both UC and Cal State schools. Can someone please tell me the application deadlines for both systems? I don't want to miss them!
Sure, here are the application deadlines for both the University of California (UC) system and the California State University (Cal State) system:
University of California (UC) system:
- Application filing period: October 1 - November 30
Please note that the UC application system usually opens on August 1 for students to begin working on their applications, but you can only submit your application during October or November.
California State University (Cal State) system:
- Priority application filing period: October 1 - November 30
While the Cal State system has the same official filing period, applicants do have some more flexibility than with the UC system, as many campuses and majors do accept applications even after the priority deadline. However, to maximize your chances of acceptance, you'll want to apply by November 30, regardless of your campus or major.
While you do want to keep these final deadlines in mind, it's a good idea to work on your applications well in advance to ensure they are well-crafted and complete by the time you submit them. Good luck!
