The "A-G" requirements are specific to public California universities (UC/CSU). However, many private and out-of-state colleges have similar admission requirements. We strongly recommend students do their research and make sure they are completing the specific requirements for schools they wish to attend.
Many private and out-of-state colleges/universities use the Common Application or the Coalition Application. Check with the individual school to see if the Common App or a unique application is required. If the Common App or the Coalition App is an option, we recommend using it, as you can fill out one application and send it multiple schools.
If you are applying to a private or out-of-state college, you may need a letter of recommendation. Make sure to confirm first and then check out tips and directions for requesting a quality letter. CLICK HERE for more information.
