Students hoping to attend one of the nine undergraduate University of California schools in the fall need to complete their applications soon -- the application deadline is November 30th, significantly earlier than most other colleges and universities in the country. Note that the University of California will accept test scores after the application deadline, so students can use scores from the December 3rd SAT and December 10th ACT.
