I’m applying for UCs. Application by examination or application by exception. (I’m a junior in HS applying for Fall 2007, so I don’t have 4 years of english, which is required to apply). I am considered a California resident but attend high school out of state (recently confirmed that I’m a resident) My school does not appear on the “a-g” course index. So how exactly do I go about filling out the application? There are no UC approved honors status courses for my school (but I do have alot of honors+AP classes)
Should I go for application by examination? (I should qualify by SAT scores, though I haven’t taken them yet)
Should I try for application by exception? Do students ever take this route? What are the chances of getting in by this method?
