Is my schedule rigorous enough?

UC’s do not consider Senior grades for admission purposes, so unless you are considered a borderline applicant or receive a supplemental from the UC’s, they will not ask for any Senior year grades during their application review.
You only submit your final transcripts once you matriculate and have graduated HS.

The UC’s will consider all classes and grades from 9-12th grade to make sure you meet the a-g course requirements, but 10-11th grades are what are used for the UC GPA calculation. Senior grades keep your provisional admission once accepted, so doing well in your Senior year is important. You do self-report your Senior year classes and the UC’s do note if you are taking a rigorous schedule.

All the UC’s, use the UC GPA calculation with a capped weighted GPA of 8 semesters of Honors/AP/IB classes. UCLA and UCB also looked at uncapped weighted UC GPA, which is a benefit if you have taken more the 8 semesters of these classes.
