Cal State Applications can be filed beginning Oct. 1. Be sure to check

year (more selective and/or closing on Nov. 30). Website for information
about impacted campuses or majors:

UC applications can be filed Nov. 1‐30 only, although students can access
the application now and begin to complete and save for Nov. submission.
The Common Application is now available on the website http://www.commonapp.
org Common Application essay word limit this year is set at 250‐500 words.
