<p>thx flopsy, but does any1 know if going to a really good high school helps ??</p>
<p>No, it doesn't help. Going to a really bad school helps.</p>
<p>Actually, going to a really good high school helps your chances. Even though a 2.8 gpa isn't really that good (sorry to say), it's a better 2.8 per se than a 2.8 in a bad school. Your curriculum and school api score (that's if your high school is public) is better than some school in east LA or something like that. Going to a private school in itself is a benefit.</p>
<p>well i go to lowell high school, ranked #2 best in all public high schools in california and we dunt hav class rank...i hope it helps me...</p>
<p>I don't think UC's count api scores in admission process. Going to a bad school definitely helps.</p>
