Hey 8th graders, time to plan your path to college!

The UCSF Center for Science & Education Opportunity is hosting a seminar aimed at incoming high school students that will help them understand what UC, CS, and other schools expect and require from graduating high school students.

My wife attended an event similar to this when our older daughter was entering high school and I highly recommend it. We still have some questions about what is required versus highly desirable when it comes to course loads, SAT subject tests, etc. But if we had not learned the basics by attending one of these conferences our daughter could have easily neglected some of these UC requirements.
