<p>I’m going to be a HS senior this fall for the 06-07 school year. I’ve heard all of the rucus about how people love to take AP classes. I decided against taking AP classes and have taken American History and Biology w/ Lab through my local community college and did well in them. The UC’s count these classes with an extra GPA point as if it were an AP or honors class. So I was wondering if anybody else has taken actual college classes while still in high school vs AP/honors?</p>
<p>most people that get into the the top UC's, Berkeley and LA, usually do take college courses while still in high school AND take many AP's and Honors courses.</p>
<p>I'm taking both community college courses and APs. HOWEVER, you should remember that UCs only give you 8 maximum points for honors/ap/college courses (at least, that's what my counselor told me).</p>
