COLLEGE APPLICATIONS

Cal State Applications can be filed beginning Oct. 1. Be sure to check
deadlines for each campus, as impacted schools may have different deadlines.
Plan on filing all CSU

applications by Nov. 30 because 16 of the 23 campuses are “impacted” this
year (more selective and/or closing on Nov. 30). Website for information
about impacted campuses or majors:
http://www.calstate.edu/SAS/impactioninfo.shtml



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.

*COLLEGE VISTS TO BERKELEY HIGH (for seniors).

Over 100 college representatives visit Berkeley High’s College/Career
Center every year.  Seniors may attend up to 10 of those meetings, with the
permission of the teacher whose class they are missing.  The current
September college visit list and permission slips are available at the front
desk of the administration building and online at  <http://www.bhs.berkeley.
net/index.php?page=finding-a-college> http://www.bhs.berkeley.net/index.php?
