For other terms (winter/spring) go to: [http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/dates-deadlines/index.html](http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/how-to-apply/dates-deadlines/index.html)  \n• Application Submission: between November 1 and 30. Applicants must meet the deadline; late applications are rarely accepted.  \n• December Test Scores: For ACT with Writing and/or the SAT with Essay tests (or SAT Subject Tests) exams completed in December, applicants must first self-report the test results by logging back into their submitted application as soon as scores are received. Official December test scores must be sent to one UC campus as soon as the scores are available; scores will be shared with all campuses to which the student applied.  \n• Admission Decisions: Campuses may begin to admit students as early as February 1, but most students will receive notification of admission via the campus’ applicant portal during the month of March.  \n• Waitlist Offers: Some students may receive an offer to be placed on a waitlist at one or more campuses. If a waitlist offer is extended, applicants must respond by the stated deadline. UC campuses very rarely make exceptions for a late response.  \n• Guarantee of Admission: In mid-April, applicants who were identified as being in the Top 9% Statewide or Top 9% Local Context (ELC) and met/will meet all admission requirements, but were not offered admission to any campus at which they applied, will be sent an email message if another campus has space available to offer them a place.  \n• Statement of Intent to Register: May 1 is the deadline to submit the Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) (accept an offer of admission) to ONLY ONE UC campus for all freshman admits who received an offer by April 1. Admit offers received after April 1 will include a corresponding SIR deadline.  \n• Waitlist Decisions: Early May to early July, campuses will notify applicants who accepted a place on the waitlist of the final decision on their application.  \nFor Students:  \n• Begin preparing for the application now – don’t wait until November.  \n• Start by researching the campuses now so you know where you want to apply.  \n• Learn about the majors offered and all the types of courses needed to earn the UC degree so you are fully informed about graduation requirements and can plan how long it may take to graduate.  \n• If you are certain about the intended major, review the curriculum in the campus’ General Catalog  \n• List of majors by disciplines across all nine UC campuses:  \n[http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/undergraduate_majors_l](http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/undergraduate_majors_l)ist. pdf  \n• Some majors are not open to freshmen applicants, or for every term.  \n• Gather materials that you’ll need: transcripts/academic records , list of current and planned courses, test scores, awards and honors, volunteer program timelines and hours, employment timeline and hours, etc.  \n• Brainstorm: take time to remember all the important things you have done throughout secondary/highschool , from club involvement, to volunteering, to athletics and leadership, and more.  \n• Your short answer responses to the personal insight questions are important.  \n• Write responses early and refer to online resources with writing tips and a worksheet (a video is also available) to help you get started.  \n• Ask a trusted teacher, counselor, or other adult for feedback on each of your responses.  \n• All UC campuses are selective.
