best of luck to all[/quote]
How many AP classes? I think private school kids without AP classes are getting shut out because UC’s only give weighted boost to gpa for AP and IB classes if you are OOS.[/quote]

Major flaw in their admissions calculus[/quote]

It’s a planned flaw. They went test blind but not really. Blind to one kind of test but not another (AP) and the resultant class weighting from the GPA that AP course drives

The deeper I’ve gotten in this process, the more these idiosyncrasies actually just resembles idiocies. It’s as if the gang from South Park wrote an episode about student selection and three spaghetti at a wall

From a bottom line: private school kids in areas where AP classes have stopped (like many in DC) should be actively discouraged from applying to UCs. Yet the num-nuts in our college office do the opposite and encourage it based on 2019 and earlier success data and beyond that, since our school caps at 10 applications (you all know the one) they allow an unlimited number of UCs to count as 1 school in their 10 cap.

Plus the CA rules that limit OOS and Intl to 18 percent have kicked in. So it’s a double whammy. But Big 3 DC CCOs remain entirely focused on SLACs in outreach and approach and knowledge.
