She has attended an accredited California online virtual high school, didn’t do well on her AP exams which is why she is attending the JC this fall for Bio to prove herself. Is it worth applying to all the UCs above or is it not worth the fee based on her stats? She is working with someone right now to write her 4 personal statements to they should be strong.
Thanks for any advice.
