Hey everyone! I'm planning on applying to some UC schools and I'm a bit stressed about the costs. Can anyone tell me how much the application fees are for UC schools? Thanks so much!
Hey there! Applying to UC schools carries a $80 application fee per campus for domestic applicants (U.S. citizens and permanent residents) and $95 per campus for international applicants. If you're applying to multiple UC campuses, you'll need to pay the fee for each campus you apply to.
However, fee waivers are available to eligible applicants who demonstrate financial need. UC allows up to four campuses for free through fee waivers for domestic applicants. To see if you qualify for a fee waiver, you can follow the guidelines provided on the UC application site under the "Fee Waivers" section.
Finally, on a separate note, if you want tips on how to craft a strong UC application, check out this blog post from CollegeVine, which breaks down how to tackle the UC application essays: https://blog.collegevine.com/how-to-write-the-university-of-california-essays/
