Hey, I'm a junior who wants to apply to some UC schools next year. I was wondering if the University of California schools offer an early action deadline? If so, when is it typically due? I'd really appreciate any info you guys could share!
Hello! The University of California (UC) system does not have an early action or early decision application option. Instead, they have a single application window for all applicants. The application typically opens on August 1st, and students can start submitting their applications from October 1st. The deadline for submission is usually November 30th for all UC schools, though I'd recommend double-checking on their official website for the most up-to-date information and any changes due to unforeseen circumstances.
Keep in mind that UC schools are test-blind, meaning they do not consider standardized test scores in the admissions process. Be sure to focus on conveying your extracurricular involvement, achievements, and personal qualities through the UC Application's Personal Insight Questions.
Good luck with your applications!
