<p>1) Does the UC system need the Common App?
2) Is it better to do the Common App and the UC App?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>No, you have to do UC app for UCs</p>

<p>thank you, i will assume that is No and No? and sorry, but 1 more question: How do UC’s take SAT scores? Do they pick out the highest score from each subject from multiple SAT’s or do they take the best total SAT score? thanks!</p>

<p>It’s definately worth finding out all you can about the process if you are from here, and your school isn’t coaching you. It’s getting fiercely competive.</p>

<p>I honestly can tell you that do not just look toward UCs and CSUs. Definitely look for private schools too. I know far too many people that just apply to UCs and CSUs. The tuitions are going up. It is nearing some private schools’ tuition. That private institution might just have more money in the pocket to give out to you. They are getting overcrowded too, from what I hear.</p>
