I'm confused. Does this mean you need and AP class is all those subjects?

For example:

A) History
UC-approved high school courses

Two years of history, including:

one year of world history, cultures or historical geography (may be a single yearlong course or two one-semester courses), and
one year of U.S. history or one-half year of U.S. history and one-half year of civics or American government


Does that mean APUSH is required or is it Ok to take regular US History?

I'm under the impression that UC decision come out between March 14 and 27, and I have a note in my calendar that UCSB is 16 thru 31, and my DC received an email from UCB saying they will release on March 30.


That email said on or before March 30.


Top PP here. Here is the relevant text of the email my DC received:
"First-Year decisions will be released approximately late afternoon / early evening (Pacific time) on March 30, 2023, via the MAP@Berkeley portal."

We are in-state, so maybe the language on your DC's email was different.


We are oos and definitely a different email (mid Feb?)


UC Berkeley admits some (5-10% of their total acceptances) early in February and some of those early admittees will also be notified of 'Regents Scholarship' interview dates. My son received one in February few years ago. The Regents Award is designed to attract top students to the school.

My DS got admitted to CS (UW 4.0, UC 4.33)

UC mainly look at 10th and 11th grade GPA. I think they also cap your AP/honors to two courses per semester. So you can have a max of 8 AP/honors grades in your course listing if you follow semester based system.

There is a collegeconfidential thread tracking stats of admitted students.

You can list additional AP/honors courses. Application readers will see them in evaluating course rigor, they just won't be adding to the weighted average.

If interested in UC schools, look at their A-G requirements. There's nothing onerous, and there is flexibility in the process, but its best to know what they're looking for: hthttps://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/freshman-requirements/subject-requirement-a-g.html
