My son attends a private school that has eliminated AP courses. His is the first graduating class who has had no opportunity to take AP courses. I would imagine USC would take this information into account when looking at his application? They do offer a select few courses for Honors, however. I'm told that the UC's award an extra GPA point to those courses, but I'd love to know how USC considers them.

My bigger question is this: how does USC calculate GPA? Do they only use academic courses, and not, pray God, P.E.? Do they use academic electives? What about so called "non-academic" electives? Pluses and minuses? Thanks in advance.
