I'm planning on applying to some UC schools and am wondering if they have a rolling admissions policy. Please let me know to help with my application timeline! Thanks!
No, UC schools do not follow a rolling admissions policy. They have a fixed application period during which you should submit your applications. For undergraduate applicants, the University of California (UC) system typically opens its application portal on August 1st, with applications accepted from October 1st through November 30th. This means you have a specific window of time within which to complete and submit your UC school applications.
You will usually receive admissions decisions from UC schools around March 1st to April 1st, depending on the campus. It's important to stay organized and keep these dates in mind when planning your application timeline. Also, keep in mind that once you've submitted your application, you won't receive updates or decisions on a rolling basis. Instead, all applicants will be notified of their admission status around the same time frame.
It's worth noting that deadlines for financial aid, scholarships, and other program-specific applications may differ. Make sure you research each UC campus and program you're interested in and stay aware of their specific requirements and deadlines to ensure a smooth application process. Good luck with your applications!
