UC (University of California) admissions

The University of California (UC) admissions process evaluates applicants based on their academic achievements, test scores (although SAT/ACT scores are not required), personal statements, and extracurricular activities. Applicants must complete a specific application form, detailing their coursework and achievements. Grades from 10th and 11th grades are heavily weighted, particularly in required “a-g” courses. Additionally, the UC system considers the applicant's personal attributes and life experiences, emphasizing diversity and resilience. The goal is to select well-rounded students who demonstrate not only academic capability but also potential to contribute to the campus community.
