I’m aware of how UC schools say the maximum amount of APs/Honors classes that they allow to increase your weighted GPA is 8 semesters, or 4 years, between grades 10-11. Can someone clarify what exactly this means? Obviously it’s smart to take more than 4 advanced courses between those 2 years, so how does taking 5+ advanced courses between the 2 years benefit me for applications?
