What's the typical UC admission timeline?

Hello everyone! I'm in the process of applying to several University of California schools and I'm curious about their typical admission timeline. When do applications usually open, and when are decisions released? Just trying to plan out my senior year.

Hello! I can definitely help you with the typical UC admission timeline. Here's a quick rundown of important dates for applying to University of California schools:

1. Applications open: The UC application for admission typically opens on August 1st. This gives you several months to complete your application before the deadline.

2. Application deadline: The application deadline for UC schools is November 30th. This is a hard deadline, meaning no late applications are accepted. Make sure you submit your application before this date.

3. Financial aid: If you're applying for financial aid, the priority deadline for submitting your FAFSA or California Dream Act application is March 2nd.

4. Decisions released: Admissions decisions for UC schools start to be released around March 1st and will continue throughout the month. The specific date may vary depending on the campus. You may receive your decision earlier or later than others, but all decisions are generally released by the end of March.

5. Statement of Intent to Register (SIR) deadline: Once you receive an acceptance, you'll have until May 1st to submit your Statement of Intent to Register (SIR). This is basically your way of officially accepting the offer and letting the UC school know that you plan to enroll.

Keep these dates in mind while applying and planning your senior year. Make sure you give yourself enough time to work on your application, especially the personal insight questions, which are an important part of the UC application process. Good luck, and I hope this helps with your planning!
