changes last year by the UC Board of Regents.  The entering UC freshman
class of 2012 will not be required to take the Subject Area Exams. Our
now juniors and seniors still need them if they are applying to any of
the UCs.  Students applying to other four-year universities need to look
at each individual websites to see what standardize requirements are
needed. You can read about the 2012 UC changes by going to this
