negative. No AI for OOS’ers, whose apps are read by readers who are knowledgeable about OOS high schools. (From a practical and political matter, AI is a way for UC not to miss lower performing kids, who may have overcome disadvantages which explains a weakness in their gpa and/or test scores, and encourage them to apply to the lower tier UC campuses, instead of attending a Cal State.)

OOS’ers are reviewed by all of the standard factors: gpa, test scores, essays, ECs, curriculum rigor, senior schedule, etc. (UC weights GPA more heavily than test scores.)
