Question about the Extra Points(up to 8 semesters)

Well the thing is if you fulfill the 8 semester honors cap…then you’re full. Basically you’re right in the sense that senior APs kind of wouldn’t matter, but rigor of your senior courses does matter. If you took like a lot of honors classes in 10th and 11th and drop all aps/ibs senior year…well it’s going to look pretty bad.

I took AP euro in 10th and 3 APs in 11th so I did fulfill my 8 semester cap. All the extra APs and honors classes in 10th and 11th I took didn’t count except lower my GPA since I didn’t get a lot of A’s in them.

Why should you do APs in senior year? First reason is that you probably want to show the UCs you are still challenging yourself. Second is that you can eliminate some GEs and some units before you enter a UC.

Hope this helps and makes sense.
