yah, im a senior, and I want to apply mainly to the UC’s. everyone is talking about the applications, but i was under teh impression that they are only available alittle later, for the fall admissions, i think. you know, for the november deadline. Ummm, if someone could clarify this for me, that would be great…
<p>For the UCs, you're right, I think the application is available October 1st. But it differs by school. Some have had theirs out for months, ans some still aren't out. It all depends.</p>
<p>so there's no way I could have started applying to the UC's yet, right?</p>
<p>i realize it's a n00b question, but I'd still like someone to answer.</p>
<p>You might want to check out the main UC admissions site: <a href="http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/%5B/url%5D">http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/</a> I recommend that everyone applying to the UC's read this site thoroughly. Then read it again until you know the information like the back of your hand. Everything you need to know is there.</p>
<p>The filing deadline for UC applications is November 1-30. The application for fall 2006 becomes available on October 1, but you can download last year's application now to get a head start pulling all of the necessary information together (the applications don't, as a rule, change much from year to year). </p>
<p>My advice: plan on getting your application in way before the Nov. 30 deadline if you plan on filing online. Every year, there is a last minute crush of people trying to file online and the UC computers almost always crash, causing much stress and gnashing of teeth among applicants.</p>
<p>uSC = uc = true/false?</p>
<p>U Southern California is a private school i.e. NOT a UC</p>
<p>Well, the servers crashing shouldn't be an issue. Though of course, its better to submit asap because you get over with it. It didn't crash this past year they're pretty lenient on extending the deadline. Go through the tour thing they have just so you have an idea of what's expect and don't worry too much about them until October.</p>
<p>A good idea is to just fill out out your standard info at the beginning. Then work on your essay for a month or two and then add them to submit.</p>
