Hot off the press! Is your child or someone you know interested in attending one of the nine UC colleges in California - UC Berkeley, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, UC San Diego, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Cruz, UC Riverside, or UC Merced? Give K-12 students a head start by reviewing these questions with them, even if they are not interested in attending a UC. The more they know now, the better prepared they will be to fill out college applications as a senior in high school. Beginning in 2016, these are the new questions:
Each question is allowed 350 words. Freshmen must answer four questions; transfer students must answer three.

2. Every person has a creative side, and it can be expressed in many ways; problem solving, original and innovative thinking, and artistically to name a few. Describe how you express your creative side.
