<p>I’m going to generalize, but counselors aren’t very useful and get paid way too much. The least they can do is tell you about the site they get their info from…
[University</a> of California - Counselors](<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ets.html]University”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ets.html)
and more: <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/conferences.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/conferences.html</a></p>
<p>Look under “Counselor Resources”
2 pdfs that are pretty useful are:
<a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TransferQ&A_FINAL.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TransferQ&A_FINAL.pdf</a>
This document contains Q&A. I got the information above from it.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TrMatrix.pdf[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/educators/counselors/resources/materials/ETS09/ETS09_TrMatrix.pdf</a> In this document you’ll read a summary of “UC Campus Policies and Procedures for Evaluating California Community College Applicants”
Some interesting things to note is that UCSD, UCD, UCSC, and UCR don’t even read the personal statement. (page 5 of this pdf)</p>
