The UC system used to claim that it only "counted" four AP classes in calculating soph and junior year gpas, two classes in each year.
But if you reviewed their data warehouse (it closed down about 10 years ago), it had acceptance rates based upon the actual number of AP semesters that a student took. And somehow, acceptance rates skyrocketed if a student took more than eight semesters, and was a virtual lock if it was in the 16-20 semester range.
When I got to college, people were talking about "AP" classes. I'd never heard of them. My high school didn't have either AP or honors classes. Had no idea there was such a thing. And my dad wouldn't allow me to take classes at the local CC.
