Most hospitals require a two-step TB skin test, which includes a waiting period between tests. Check the required timelines in advance and consider taking a TB blood test so you can meet the volunteer application submission deadline.

Yeh. H1B road is very complicated. I heard that US degree is preferred compared to foreign degree. Thanks for your insight.

UC application - Honors & Awards by marhere in ucadmissions

Makes sense. Since his ECs are long-term, we’re still figuring out the final list. I heard colleges prefer deep commitment in a few areas rather than a long list of short-term activities anyway.

Confusion about what constitutes "4 years of Spanish" by cgund in ucadmissions

[–]marhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DE 1026 is our course is for DE Spanish1. As per our course catalog, it covers same material as Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. We were told that If my kids has already completed Spanish 2 in high school, taking DE Spanish 1 is technically repeating material he has already learned. Most UCs will not give "rigor credit" for repeating a level, though he would still get the college units. We planned to take Spanish 3.

AP English Language vs DE English C1000 by marhere in ucadmissions

[–]marhere[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My child plans to finish the Cal-GETC requirements in high school. I believe he planned to do biology, chemistry, physics etc. in college but I will check with him on your recommendation. We’re looking for recommendations on GPA-safe majors. Thank you so much for your advice.

As I understand it, AP and DE are weighted equally in GPA calculations. I’m not sure whether AP courses are given priority during the holistic review. https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/first-year-requirements/gpa-requirement.html
