加利福尼亚大学(University of California)，简称加州大学(UC)，是位于美国加州的一个由10所公立大学组成的大学系统，也是世界上最具影响力的公立大学系统，被誉为“公立高等教育的典范”。

　　加州大学的10个校区(大学)分别为：伯克利校区(Berkeley，UCB)、戴维斯校区(Davis，UCD)、尔湾校区(Irvine，UCI)、洛杉矶校区(Los Angles，UCLA)、莫塞德校区(Merced，UCM)、河滨校区(Riverside，UCR)、圣巴巴拉校区(Santa Barbara，UCSB)、圣克鲁斯校区(Santa Cruz，UCSC)、圣地亚哥校区(San Diego，UCSD)、旧金山校区(San Francisco，UCSF)。

　　加州大学并不是一所大学而是一个行政系统，并没有所谓的“主校区”，每一个校区都是一所相对独立的大学。加州大学是世界一流的学府，在各项学术指标和排名中均能名列前茅。这些校区互为独立又紧密联系，各自作为独立的大学而存在，共同组成了享誉全美乃至全世界的加州大学(UC)系统。下面就为大家汇总一下加州大学系统留学申请文书题目及注意事项。

　　除了需要申请者回答8个问题中的4个外，申请系统Additional Comments还有另外一个问题需要申请者来回答!题目如下：

　　If there's anything else you want us to know about you, now's your chance. But remember, you should use this space only if you want to describe anything that you have not had the opportunity to include elsewhere in the application. This shouldn't be an essay, but rather a place to explain unusual personal or family circumstances, or anything that may be unclear in other parts of the application. This should not be used to answer an additional personal insight question.(如果你还想让我们知道你的事，Additional Comments就是一个绝佳的机会，你可以在这里展示任何可以帮助我们更好了解你的信息!请悉知这并不是文书，仅仅是一个你可以展示自己独一无二的个人和家庭成长环境契机。除此之外你认为那些对你申请有帮助的信息亦可以在此处展示!)

　　注意事项

　　1、It's a good idea to work on your answers before you enter them into the application. Visit the admissions website to read more about the questions, download the worksheets, and get tips and suggestions for how to get started.(在你将自己的文书输入UC申请系统之前，建议将文书保存，以免丢失。查看招生网站阅读更多关于问题，下载表格，并获得的技巧和建议如何开始。)

　　2、Use your own voice: Your answers should reflect your ideas and be written by you alone. Don't be afraid to talk about yourself in the first person (for example, "I" and "my").(文书体现自己：你对于问题的回答需要最真实地体现你自己，使用第一人称“I/My”亦可!)

　　3、There are no right or wrong answers to these questions. It's about getting to know you in your own unique voice.(以上8个问题没有所谓正确或者错误的答案，我们仅仅是为了通过你的文字了解最独特的你!)

　　4、Proofread and edit: Although this is not an essay or a writing test, make sure to check your work. Grammatical and spelling errors can get in the way of what you're trying to communicate.(校对和编辑：虽然这不是一篇文章或一个写作测试，但请注意书写语法，单词拼写。)

　　5、Because of the 30-minute time limit in place on each page of this application, we recommend that you compose and save your answers using a text editing program such as MS Word, Google Docs, Notepad or Textedit, then copy and paste them into the form fields.(因为UC申请系统每个页面的保留时间是30分钟，我们建议您编写和使用文本编辑程序，如MS Word，谷歌文档保存您的答案，记事本或文本编辑，然后复制并粘贴到申请系统中!)

　　6、Use only standard American English alphanumeric characters (numbers 0 through 9 and letters a through z) and the other characters found on a standard English keyboard: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] \ { } | ; : ' " , < . > / ? excluding ~ .(请使用标准美式英语的字母数字字符(数字0到9和字母A到Z)和标准英语键盘发出的! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] \ { } | ; : ' " , < . > / ? )
