<p>The formula for UCSD says that it rewards you 500 points for taking a-g courses "beyond the minimum."</p>
<p>what exactly is beyond the minimum?</p>
<p>is it either all or nothing? or can they give you 250 points?</p>
<p>what would be considered "low-family income"?</p>
<p>and... is being co-captain of a varsity team and president of the Make-A-Wish Club "demonstrated leadership"?</p>
<p>sorry for all these questions. haha.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>i think if you go beyond the minimum like more then 3 years for math-say you do 4 (like it is reccomended) or you do both ap calc and ap stats in one year, that would be more then the minimum.</p>
