Join us for an exclusive information session designed for students and parents dreaming of studying at one of the most prestigious public university systems in the world — the University of California. This session breaks down exactly what it takes to build a competitive UC application, from academic expectations and extracurriculars to the all-important Personal Insight Questions.
