[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AP classes matter if you are applying to UC schools. Impossible to get in OOS without any AP classes. Maybe GDS kids don’t want to go to UCLA, Cal, UCSD, etc.?!? [/quote]

My private in a different metro (outside California) continues to have have matriculations to UC schools - and the matriculation rate to UC schools has not recently changed. It does not have any classes labeled AP. It also does not (and never did) weight GPAs. [/quote]

It doesn't matter if the private weights the GPAs or not, the UC admissions offices put grades through their own matrix, for both OOS and in state applicants. It also doesn't matter that they have no "official" AP classes, there will be an obvious line of rigor versus remedial that the AO can follow. You act like it's some kind of golden school with special privileges for the UC and it is not.[/quote]

You missed the point.  To be much more clear: good schools (not great, not special, not better, not outstanding, just merely good) which offer zero AP classes are still able to place good students into good UC campuses.[/quote]
