[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming you can pay out of state, try the UC system. It’s a different application than common app but it applies to all and there are no supplementals per school. He should write about his race in his PIQs. His GPA needs to stay over 3.5. If he can take some dual or concurrent enrollment courses in your local community college that will bump him more than an AP course. In CA the concurrent enrollment courses at a CC are harder than an AP course at most public schools but in Montgomery County it’s reversed. I’d forget about UCLA but try Cal as a long shot. Cal is far more likely to take a full pay OOS AA student with a 3.6 and a few DE courses than a perfect GPA, max APs, all 5s, president of everything wealthy white or asian kid from in state. Also try UCSD, UCD, UCSB, UCSC , UCR, UC Merced etc. [/quote] UC schools are hella hard to get into if you live in CA…[/quote]
