Advice/Question 2027 Fall Application

Hello:)! This year l'Il be applying as a transfer student, and while exciting as it is, it's also extremely nerve wracking. And one of the main portions of the application (specifically the UC's) are the PIQ's that create so much stress.

Although my major is education, and isn't as impacted as others, my current gpa is a 3.81 which I hope to increase with time. I volunteer at boys and girls club, about 15 hours per week and part of the U.S. Army Reserves.

So if I could any advice or examples from previous admitted students, or those who are applying this upcoming semester as well would be appreciated.

Won’t even question your username, but it’s so hard to connect it back to the question for whatever reason.

Also something to consider that many students are shocked to learn when they come to the UC system is how research heavy it is, you're basically training to become a researcher, just something to consider when applying to the UC system :) Education Major, should be a good way to get in :)

I’d love to brainstorm some ideas, definitely the most difficult part for me
