UC vs. Regular US Universities: What sets their applications apart?
The distinction is not about how many achievements a student has, but how UC evaluates their academic record, activities, and essays.
In real admissions reviews, many applicants with high scores and notable extracurriculars do not gain a clear advantage because their applications are not structured around how UC evaluates candidates.

02
