How do the UC’s take into account the veteran status of transfer applicants? Do the applicants earn extra points or any preferences during the admission process?
Veterans are considered non-traditional applicants, which is no means a bad thing (it quite honestly makes your application stand out in a positive way). If you’re applying to particularly competitive UC, it’s a definite advantage.
Thank you for your response!
In the past five years at my California community college, only veterans (with the exception of two) have succeeded in transferring to elite schools (top 20). Being a veteran is definitely something you should emphasize in your application.
