<p>VAPA is Visual Arts/Performing Arts. You’ve had none of that in high school or at community college?</p>
<p>UC’s gpa is only for the mid two years of high school, I guess you know.</p>
<p>It’s not about not needing FA so much as contributing higher tuition as an OOS student, but that is a tip only if your application is already especially strong, since there are those competing with you for those particular campuses who are paying full freight in-state and have a similar gpa.</p>
