[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m confused. If the UC schools don’t look at test scores or 9th grade grades, and limit the number of AP/equivalent “lifts” that each kid can get to 8, then how do they actually select students? Because it seems to me that there would be a large number of applicants with unweighted 4.0s (or near enough) who also have taken the maximum allowed APs. So how do they pick a class?[/quote]

CA parent here and yes, you are right to be confused--we are all confused out here, especially since UC went test blind.  I do know only one thing, for in-state kids, the UCs are mandated to take the top 10% of *public* CA high school kids.  Doesn't mean you'll get the campus you want, but does mean that you have a guaranteed college acceptance.

Since they have that mandate, it's tough for California private school kids to get in. We used to think it was better to be OOS than at a CA private HS, but that is changing (or has changed as well)[/quote]
