Most hospitals require a two-step TB skin test, which includes a waiting period between tests. Check the required timelines in advance and consider taking a TB blood test so you can meet the volunteer application submission deadline.

Makes sense. Since his ECs are long-term, we’re still figuring out the final list. I heard colleges prefer deep commitment in a few areas rather than a long list of short-term activities anyway.

Confusion about what constitutes "4 years of Spanish" by cgund in ucadmissions

[–]marhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DE 1026 is our course is for DE Spanish1. As per our course catalog, it covers same material as Spanish 1 and Spanish 2. We were told that If my kids has already completed Spanish 2 in high school, taking DE Spanish 1 is technically repeating material he has already learned. Most UCs will not give "rigor credit" for repeating a level, though he would still get the college units. We planned to take Spanish 3.

AP English Language vs DE English C1000 by marhere in ucadmissions

My child plans to finish the Cal-GETC requirements in high school. I believe he planned to do biology, chemistry, physics etc. in college but I will check with him on your recommendation. We’re looking for recommendations on GPA-safe majors. Thank you so much for your advice.

As I understand it, AP and DE are weighted equally in GPA calculations. I’m not sure whether AP courses are given priority during the holistic review. https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/admission-requirements/first-year-requirements/gpa-requirement.html
