UC Application Guide

The UC application guide webinar provides a comprehensive, step-by-step walkthrough of one of the most detailed and frequently misunderstood college application systems in the United States. The University of California application differs significantly from the Common App in structure, evaluation focus, and expectations, making accurate completion essential.

This session begins by explaining how UC campuses evaluate applicants holistically, with particular emphasis on academic history, course rigor, and Personal Insight Questions (PIQs). Families will gain clarity on what UC admissions officers prioritize—and what does not matter as much as many assume.

In this UC application guide webinar, we walk students through:

• Academic History section and accurate course reporting

• Activities & Awards entry strategy

• PIQ structure, expectations, and common mistakes

• How UC campuses interpret context and rigor

Because many students apply to both UC schools and Common App schools, the webinar also includes a Common App walkthrough. We explain how the two systems differ, where information overlaps, and where students must adjust tone or content.

Special attention is given to common errors that can negatively affect applications, such as misreporting coursework, misunderstanding GPA calculations, or underutilizing activity descriptions.

This webinar is ideal for:

• Students applying to UC campuses

• Families navigating UC and Common App simultaneously

• Students seeking clarity and accuracy

By the end of the session, students will feel confident navigating both systems using a structured UC application guide approach.
