Counselors and Transfer Staff will be available to help with questions before you submit your UC/CSU application. Please attend a CSU/UC presentation before attending. Registration is required, please visit our Transfer Events Calendar for more information. Space is limited so register as soon as possible.

All applicants to the University of California and most private colleges must submit responses to personal insight questions. Marcie Wald, LCSW (Author of Nothing Can Stop Me; An Open Book on Transfer Application Essays), is offering A pre-recorded webinar to support you in completing your responses. The information is also useful for scholarship application essays. Actual sample essays are read and critiqued during the webinar. Students are required to view the webinar before requesting a counseling appointment to review your responses. To watch the Personal Insight Question webinar, please fill out this short google form. Please note that this is only available to current or former Cabrillo students.
