A Mom's Guide Applying for Admission to University of California Campuses

 


A Mom's Guide Applying for Admission to University of California Campuses (For Gen Z'ers): The Ultimate UC College Application Reference Guide for High Schoolers (and Parents!)


 Do you want to go to UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC San Diego and other UC campuses but are afraid you’ll be rejected because you know people who didn’t get in? Navigating the UC application process is an overwhelming experience for even the brightest of students. As you (or your teen) start applying for admission to UC, it’s easy to be confused by the whole application process, especially because UC campuses receive over 100,000 freshman applications and you only get ONE chance to apply. We’ve heard the competition and horror stories: so-and-so got a 4.0 GPA, president of our class, and she didn’t get into her UC?!

Here’s what this book offers:
  • Why is it so hard to get into a UC? The truth about your UC GPA
  • Why UC no longer requires SAT/ACT scores-- and other factors they look for instead
  • A bulletproof strategy to filling out the Awards/Honors, ECs section so you can stand out from other applicants
  • Why your activities and how you describe them can make or break your application, and how to approach this section best
  • What UC wants to read in your Personal Insight Questions (PIQs)
  • A better understanding of how UC reviews your application so you can fully optimize your chances... and much more!
This Reference Guide is specifically written for Gen Zers and will give you tips on how to approach the UC application. After reading this book, you will get the confidence to increase your chances of getting into a UC. The November filing deadline is approaching soon so get this book! Discover how to give your teen the best shot at applying to UC (and you don’t need to hire that expensive college counselor too!)

Applying to UC schools (University of California, including UCLA, UC Berkeley, UC Irvine etc) has been extremely competitive, especially for fall 2021 when UCLA had an admit rate of 10.7%. It's so competitive and hard to get in. Why? Because there is not enough supply for the demand of admission spots. Based on my research, experience as a UC Admissions Reader, College Counselor and Mom, I wrote a book as a reference guide for students applying. I include tips, how to phrase and describe things on your UC application, what UC looks for in your essays and what to say in your application. This is especially geared toward Gen Z, the generation applying to colleges now. From a mom who got all her kids into UC Berkeley, I wanted to help other students navigate the overwhelming UC application process. The online application opens August 1st.

The application process is open online, and you can only submit it Nov. 1-30 before 11:59pm.
