Hi everyone! I'm looking to apply to UC schools for Fall 2024 entry. Does anyone know when their applications open? I want to be as prepared as possible. Thank you!
Hello! For Fall 2024 entry, the University of California (UC) system typically opens its application on August 1st. Once the application is open, you'll have a few months to prepare and submit it, as the submission period runs from October 1st to November 30th. Note that applications won't be accepted before October 1st, but you can still start working on them as soon as they open up in August.
Make sure to give yourself ample time to complete the application and write your Personal Insight Questions. There are 8 prompts to choose from, and you'll need to answer 4 of them with a maximum of 350 words per response. The prompts cover an array of topics and are designed to help demonstrate your interests, accomplishments, and personal characteristics.
When working on your application, remember to regularly save your progress and double-check the various sections for accuracy. It's also a good idea to ask a teacher, counselor, or mentor to review your Personal Insight Questions, as they can provide valuable insight and feedback.
Good luck with your UC applications!
