The College Preparation Program for Weiming is a high-impact educational experience at UC Berkeley Extension for students currently enrolled in Chinese high schools.

Additional Features of This College Preparation Program
College Counseling
Students are assigned college admissions counselors who provide 10 hours of 1-on-1, individualized college application support.
During these advising sessions, students will perform self-assessments; research best-fit universities; and receive coaching on the application process, including how to obtain compelling recommendation letters and writing an authentic and effective personal statement.
UC Berkeley Undergraduate Student Mentorship
Students will be matched with UC Berkeley undergraduate volunteer student mentors based on their capstone project and extracurricular interests. In addition to assisting students in their transition to life in Berkeley, student mentors serve as academic coaches and research thought-partners, further supporting students in their capstone project development.
Transcripts and Certificates
Students will receive a UC Berkeley Extension transcript and certificate of completion, signed by the Dean.
