Apply now!
The application cycle is fully underway, and starting today, November 1st, applicants can now submit their applications. Students have until 11:59pm PST on November 30 to submit their application. After the application is submitted, applicants can make changes to contact information, update self-reported test scores and complete application fee payments.
SAT/ACT and other Tests
· Students applying for fall 2013 admission must take the ACT or SAT by December 2012. Please have your students check remaining test dates and register for exams.
- ACT dates and deadlines: www.actstudent.org/regist/dates.html
- SAT dates and deadlines: http://sat.collegeboard.org/register
- Applicants planning on taking or retaking SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests can list planned test dates on the application and submit their official scores by the end of December.
- UC does not recommend that applicants use the College Board’s Score Choice function because it delays delivery of test scores. We strongly encourage students to report all scores and only use the highest score at a single sitting for admission consideration.
- UC only uses SAT subject tests, which are not required, as an additional piece of information as a part of the application.
- All official test (SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests) scores can be submitted to just one campus to which the student will be applying. Test scores will be disseminated to all campuses to which the student applied.
Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate
· AP/IB scores must be reported on the admission application. Official scores must be submitted by the testing agency, after acceptance of an offer of admission, to the one campus at which the student plans to enroll.
· Although the College Board reports all AP tests results to the UC campus, students should be aware that AP test scores lower than 3 will not adversely affect their chances for admission, nor will IB Higher Level individual subject grades below 4.
TOEFL/IELTS
· Applicants whose native language is not English and whose secondary/high school or college/university education was in a country where English is not the language of instruction must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) examination (academic modules).
· Scores must be reported to the undergraduate admissions office at each campus to which the student applies and received no later than January 2013.

Official transcripts & Letters of Recommendation:
· Transcripts: Students must refer to transcripts as they fill out the application to ensure the information they enter is accurate. However, they must not submit transcripts at this point in the process. Transcripts must only be submitted to the one campus at which the student plans to enroll by the deadline date the campus will provide (unless specifically asked by a campus prior to the admission decision).
· Letters of Recommendation: Students must not submit letters of recommendation unless specifically asked by a campus. We do not encourage students to send letters of recommendation as part of the UC application process. However, some campuses/majors may require letters of recommendation as part of a supplemental application review, so please make sure you check for an email message from a campus.
Now is the time to get these applications completed and submitted. If you have any questions, the Navi Lab will be open for drop in help on:
November 5: 2nd, 3rd and 6th period
November 7: 2nd, 3rd and 6th period
November 13: 6th period
You can also stop in and fill out a request to see your counselor if you have questions. We are here to help you through this process!
Don't forget! Turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night before you go to bed! It's time to fall back!
