<p>You need to go to the UC sites and do your homework. Yes, the UCs weight AP classes but only so many are weighted. There is a very specific formula. Not to mention that you will not likely receive good Financial aid as an OOS student. You would be much better off to consider schools like Northeastern or Santa Clara which may offer financial aid.
The UCS no longer have a LOT of money…California is in fiscal crisis.<br>
Also, every year students wait until their senior year to pay attention to the UC requirements. Read the other above posts carefully. You have to take a year of theater/art for instance…the required classes are definitely required.</p>
