Hey folks, I'm set on UC Berkeley and starting to plan out my application. What's the timeline like for submitting an application? What are their deadlines? I want to make sure I don’t miss anything significant. Thanks!
The University of California system, which includes UC Berkeley, has its application filing period for all of their applicants from October 1 to November 30. This is the time frame when you can submit your application.
Try to avoid waiting until the last minute to submit your application, as the servers tend to get overloaded with traffic and you might experience technical issues. If you start your application early in October, you can work on it gradually and make sure everything is well-edited and complete before you submit.
After this period, by the end of January, you will be asked to update your application with your fall grades and any additional courses you're taking in the spring.
Remember to keep an eye on your email account for any communications from the university and to check your application portal regularly. Notifications about your admissions decision will come in March.
Good luck with your application! Be sure to take your time with the UC personal insight questions, as they are an important part of the application review process.
