I would imagine OP takes AP for college application, college credit is probably secondary concern.

Regarding Tufts syndrome, pretty much every private college has that. The nicer ones will put you on waitlist. If you run out of other choices and petition, you may get in. The less nicer ones will reject out right. I’m not familiar with Rochester to comment.

Regarding public schools, someone with better knowledge probably can comment. But I would imagine Berkeley probably has enough self assurance that it wouldn’t care too much. Besides you will be paying OOS anyway. However, I think there are so called impacted majors at Berkeley, and EECS or maybe even engineering in general may not be open to OOS. It’s best to verify whether that’s the case or not so that you don’t get surprised.
