Hey fellow students! I was wondering if UC Berkeley has an Early Action admissions plan. I'm really interested in applying early but can't seem to find any concrete info. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
Hey there! Unfortunately, UC Berkeley does not offer Early Action or Early Decision admissions plans. All University of California (UC) schools, including Berkeley, have a shared application system and follow the same application timeline. The UC application filing period is from October 1 to November 30, and decisions are typically released between March and April. It's important to prepare your application well in advance to ensure you submit everything on time.
While you can't apply early to UC Berkeley, you can still demonstrate your interest in the school through other ways. For instance, make sure to dedicate time to crafting a strong personal insight essay that speaks to your experiences and passion for your potential major. Additionally, you may want to attend virtual events or engage with current students and alumni to learn more about the school's culture and programs.
Best of luck with your application!
