What I meant was that a lot of other highschools weigh your AP courses rather than grading them as if they were regular courses. Rather than getting an 88 one quarter, it’d be a 90 because of the fact that it is an AP course. That would be an additional 4.0 for calculating your UC GPA rather than a 3.0.
Anyway, I emailed the UC admissions support and I’ll probably find a community college Art course to enroll in for a full year to meet the F requirement or prepare for one of the APs.
