一直以来，加州大学深受众多申请生的喜爱。随着八月的来临，申请季逐渐拉开了序幕，CA、UC申请系统已经开放，之前TD申请手把手教大家如何填写Common APP?
2021Fall 申请季正式打响！Common App填写这些细节要把握好
今天，我们带大家看一下
UC申请系统在2020年的申请季发生了哪些变化？
什么是UC系统？
UC是University of California的简称，是世界上最具影响力的公立大学系统之一，它包含了除加州大学旧金山分校之外（这所学校不提供本科项目）的其余全部９所加州大学，分别是：
加州大学伯克利分校（UC Berkeley）
加州大学洛杉矶分校（UCLA）
加州大学圣地亚哥分校（UCSD）
加州大学圣塔芭芭拉分校（UCSB）
加州大学尔湾分校（UCI）
加州大学戴维斯分校（UCD）
加州大学圣克鲁兹分校（UCSC）
加州大学河滨分校（UCR）
加州大学美熹德分校（UCM）
这9所加州大学的申请共用同一个系统，也就是说，即便你想申请多所加州大学，也只需要在UC系统中提交一次申请即可。虽然申请只需要提交一次，
但是申请费需要按照申请学校的数量支付，每一所学校国际生的申请费是80美金。另外，需要大家注意的是，
UC系统不开设ED、EA批次，只有唯一一个RD申请批次，截止日期为11.30。
UC的活动列表共计可以填写20个活动及奖项，涉及以下六个板块：
Award or honor
Educational preparation programs
Extracurricular activity
Other coursework
Volunteering / Community service
Work experience
