[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son’s urban CA high school was 3.8 uw and 4.2 w for the top 10%, so I’m not sure if grade inflation is as much an issue here as in VA and MD.  As noted, UC has extensive knowledge of CA high schools and the historic performance of their kids.

UCs also consider AP scores if submitted and strong AP results enhance an application.  It is similar to NYU which as a test optional school allows students to substitute specified types of AP scores for the SAT/ACT.

At my son’s HS, Cal and UCLA take from the top 2% with maybe some out to 5%, with nearly all from a special elite program that disproportionately serves middle and upper middle class white and Asian kids.

UCs are selective, just in their own way.  UC Davis with a higher admission rate as a school away from the coast is the underrated one in terms of educational quality and student experience.[/quote]

But as you wrote, it's "away from the coast" Kids want the coast.[/quote]

It’s the UC with the shortest distance to great skiing.[/quote]
