The University of California system includes several of the world’s most prestigious-and most competitive-schools. The UCs also have a unique admissions process, famously featuring a “test blind” policy on standardized entrance exams. So what better way to learn how to approach the UC admissions process than by hearing directly from an admissions director? Join UCLA’s director of undergraduate admissions, Gary Clark, for an overview of the UC admissions process and guidance on navigating it effectively. In this session, he will highlight:
• Important steps and milestones in the UC application process
• A breakdown of the “personal insight” application questions
• How UC admissions have changed due to COVID-19
• How the prohibition on SAT and ACT scores affects your application
• Insight into the overall college admissions process from a career admissions officer
