<p>What is the process of applying to a UC? Do I have to interview? </p>
<p>No interview or letters of recommendation required. I would still get some letters of recommendation, just in case you are waitlisted or plan to appeal. See the link for the UC application and required information: <a href=“UC Admission - Apply Online”>UC Admission - Apply Online;
If you have any more questions after looking over the link, you can PM me or post again. I have gone through the UC admission process twice in the last 2 years.</p>

<p>Very basic information: they do not use the Common Application; you may use a single application for all nine campuses, but you need to pay a separate fee (unless you qualify for a waiver) for each one you apply to; they do not want recommendation letters or transcripts - you must fill out the form about your academic record carefully, and your acceptance can be rescinded if any information is inaccurate, even if it’s an honest error; they open their application on-line just after midnight on November 1st, and close it at midnight on November 30th - you have just that 30-day window to apply; they have their own, discrete formula for calculating GPA - you can look it up - CA residents need at least a UC-weighted 3.0, and non-residents need at least a 3.4, to be eligible for admission to any UC. That does not mean that you can get into the campus of your choice with that GPA. The most elite campuses (ie. Berkeley and UCLA) and programs (ie. STEM departments) will usually require a GPA over 4.0. There is no minimum SAT/ACT score, but you need to submit one or the other, and they will use the best single-seating score.</p>
