How to Make Your UC Application Stand Out

In partnership with Strive to Learn, the Newport Beach Public Library presents "How to Make Your UC Application Stand Out." Although the University of California is tougher to get into each year, Strive to Learn is here to help you craft your UC application in a way that makes you stand out. From the personal insight question to choosing a major, we'll break down each nuance of the application piece by piece. Along the way, we'll shed insight into the 13-factor review process, tips on what admissions officers look for now that SAT/ACT scores are no longer used, and much more. This FREE presentation is designed to support high school seniors and their parents. Registration required.
