UC course rigor

<p>do UC's place an emphasis on course rigor. I was looking at the point system for the UC's the other day and I noticed that you don't really get points for course rigor. Also, do colleges value certain AP's over other AP courses? </p>

<p>I'm starting to regret taking AP courses and ruining my GPA.</p>

<p>I do believe they look at course rigor. For example, a B in an honors/AP class will look better than receiving an A in a regular class. And I do not believe they "value" certain AP's over others. It is just advanced placement, a chance for you to get ahead and extra credits.</p>

<p>The UCs definitely consider course rigor and this can have an effect on admission decisions. Honors and APs will also increase the UC GPA up to 8 extra points.</p>
