Tune into Don't Chuck It Up for an essential guide on applying to the University of California (UC) and Cal State University (CSU) systems, featuring Independent Educational Consultant Evelyn Jerome-Alexander. In this episode, host Chuck and Evelyn dive deep into the often-confusing world of California public university systems' admissions, clarifying key differences between the UC application and the CSU application processes. They emphasize that simply meeting the A-G minimum requirements for subjects like foreign language or math is insufficient for freshman admission competitiveness at the UCs, which evaluate students based on a high count of A-G semesters throughout all four years of high school. This critical discussion is designed to help students and families successfully navigate the rigorous college admissions landscape and apply strategically, especially when considering highly selective or impacted majors and campuses in California.
