Berkeley Admissions Presentation
University of California Application Workshop
During the Berkeley Admissions Presentation, I will provide students with an overview of Berkeley and the admissions process. Meanwhile, the University of California Application Workshop will focus on best practices for completing the extracurricular and personal insight questions sections of the UC Application. Hopefully this will help to make some of the scheduling issues a bit easier for all of us, while also providing your students with a more rich Berkeley experience at the same time.
Note: Each of the above sessions has a maximum capacity of 275.

The American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) Young Scholars Program pairs enterprising students in their last two years of high school or first two years of college with ACC members for a year of mentored research and education on cardiovascular disease.
The ACC is a globally recognized membership association focused on cardiology, with over 54,000 members in over 141 countries. We are committed to transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health – and that means preparing and supporting tomorrow’s leaders in the field.

Applications are due by Dec. 1 , so let your promising students know about the program and encourage them to visit ACC.org/YoungScholars for more information and to begin their application!
