[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They will use their own formula for the grades. They will take the Honors classes and award A grades a 5, B grades a 4 and so on. If your kid has taken 4 years of a foreign language, there's usually a placement test on entry that means they can skip any required FL classes when they get there.

What is very important to the UC colleges, is community service, how it is local rather than international and what a difference it makes to those receiving it. The local impact is key. Same for positions of leadership held in school.

Sports and other EC's are important as well so long as you're not showing privilege. They care more about football than fencing, more about band than private viola lessons. Etc.[/quote]
There are no weighted points for honors classes for out of state students.[/quote]

OP. Ugh. Any boost for taking and getting a 5 on AP exams they self studied for ?[/quote]

Yes, you submit AP scores and they consider them in admissions. I can’t find it anywhere official, but that’s what a UC rep told my kid at a high school visit earlier this month. [/quote]
