Have not fulfilled the UC's A-G requirements? Should I bother applying?

This is really who you need to direct this question too. </p>

<p>International admission contacts | UC Admissions</p>

<p>They are the only one who can really give you answers in regards to international admissions. The solutions most of us can offer are specific to options typically available in the states.

</p>

<p>Thanks, the last email I sent to the UC admissions office got a generic reply restating everything that’s said required on one of their webpages. I’ll try contacting them via your link.</p>

The book is 800+ pages long. Unless you have a lot of free time on your hands, and/or have taken AP Euro/World, methinks that this would be a difficult course to study for.

</p>

<p>Yeah, there’s no way I can do that; I’m already struggling with applications & my current year courses as it is. I’ll just see if I can get through without the fine arts requirement I guess.</p>

Truust, you need to read the requirements very carefully. They’re different for Internationals and for American students. In addition, you should email the international admissions representative for EACH campus you’re applying to.
Re: US history - does not apply to International students. In the same way, “English” is replaced by “Native language/literature” and “Foreign Language” becomes “English”.

<p>I can’t find that information online, can you provide a link please? However, I did find this (after you mentioned that international requirements are different):
[|</a> UC Admissions](<a href=“http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/international/applying-for-admission/index.html]|”>http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/international/applying-for-admission/index.html)</p>

<p>^ There is no mention of the A-G requirements there. Does that mean intl students do NOT require it?</p>

<p>On the other hand, [url=<a href=“http://admissions.berkeley.edu/internationalstudents]this[/url”>International Students - Office of Undergraduate Admissions]this[/url</a>] link says:

You are an international applicant if a visa is required to reside and study in the United States. A U.S. citizen, permanent resident, refugee or asylee who currently lives and studies outside the U.S. is considered a domestic applicant with foreign credentials.

</p>

<p>…which means that the intl requirements don’t apply to me since i’m just a citizen living abroad.</p>
