I definitely recommend having your parents sign the release form if you have any intention of applying to the UC’s. Once the UC’s get your transcripts they will start a file for you that includes all your high school course information and grades, so that when the time comes for you to fill out the application half of it is already filled out for you. This happens even if you do not end up being eligible in the local context. You will also get a special id # to use for the application process. As far as I can tell there is no downside. If you’re worried about privacy - once you start filling out college applications there won’t be any privacy between you and admissions anyway.
