To all you Californians studying abroad with a British Curriculum, IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET INTO A UC JUST WORK HARD!

As you can see, I have taken a number of external IGCSE/GCE exams because my school only offered a British curriculum. They do not offer any AP/IB/Honor courses. I self-studied AP Physics B in 8 weeks and somehow managed to get a 5. Thankfully, I discovered APEX Learning, so in my senior year, I will be taking courses to help prepare me for exams.
Senior Course load:
GCE A-Level Math
GCE A-Level Applied ICT
GCE A-Level Physics
AP Calculus AB
AP Psychology
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
My EC’s are pretty small in number, but I have invested a large amount of time and effort into them.
CONGRATULATIONS, EVERYONE!
