A Step-by-Step Guide to Completing the UC Application — Accurately, Strategically, and Authentically
The University of California application opens August 1, and unlike other applications, it puts students entirely in charge. There’s no Common App, no letters of recommendation, and no outside input. That means students must self-report all their grades and test scores, craft detailed activity descriptions, and submit strong Personal Insight Question (PIQ) responses — all on their own.
This free webinar will guide students and families through the entire UC application section by section, ensuring you understand how to fill it out.
You’ll be guided by LifeLaunchr’s Founder and CEO, Venkates “Swami” Swaminathan, and LifeLaunchr coaches Laura Schadler and Claire Schadler, who have guided hundreds of students through the UC application process over the years.
You’ll gain:
- Answers to your questions
- What Matters Most in Each Section of the Application
- How to Avoid Common Mistakes in Entering Coursework, Grades, and Test Scores
- How to Fill Out the Activities Section With Entries That Stand Out
- How to Apply for Scholarships and Establish Residency (for Residents)
