![]() That’s a great question and a great place to start. What are the best practices for applicants with regard to using official records to complete the courses and grades? Let’s talk about submitting official transcripts. When you go on the application, it talks about the rules, but it does happen, and that’s a really difficult thing for us to sort of unwind once we get down to selection time. Most high school counselors are aware of the rules. You know, most of the time when they choose the transfer application will let them go through that process. Well, they, they choose the wrong application is what happens. So there are students applying as transfers then, or attempting to because they’ve taken so many college level courses as a high school student. You still have to apply as a first year until you graduate from high school. So even though you might have earned an AA degree or two while you’ve been in high school student, whether you’re got 60 college units or 120 college units, you might have completed – you might have all those things done before you graduate from high school because you’re like a superstar. It doesn’t matter how many college courses you’ve taken, you’re still applying as a first year. Now, we use that tool for both first years and transfers, and one thing I really want to emphasize is that there is occasionally confusion about whether a student is a first year or a transfer if you’re still in high school. That’s a program that’s managed through the office of the president, and we ask applicants to provide us with their academic history and also answer some pursuant side questions, and also tell us about their extracurricular activities. So all applicants to the nine undergrad UC campuses, both first years and transfers use Apply UC. For those who are new to the process, how does a student apply to UCI? Can you walk us through the different pieces and provide a basic overview of the application? So applications to the University of California opened on August 1st and applicants have until November 30th to submit. In this episode, we are looking toward the students who are applying now for entrance in the fall of 2024, and we’ll talk about the changing landscape with consideration toward artificial intelligence and Chat GPT. Dale and I spoke about the admissions process at a high level, covering the application and also what happens on our end once an application is submitted. This year’s data revealed a third consecutive record breaking year for UCI in numbers of applications received at 143,000, and we had a record breaking number of admissions offers in past episodes. Dale and I have spoken previously on the UCI podcast on the admissions process. Actually, I think it’s 28 and 11 now, but we’ve been doing this so long.
