Many and High AP (IB) Scores Necessary For Exclusive University Admissions?!
The admissions landscape, since Covid-19 and the pandemic, has changed. Many of the classes during 2020 to 2022 were graded pass/fail, were taught via Zoom, resulted in national declines in scores and testing for students. The most exclusive and competitive universities therefore have come to rely on testing more, despite the trend to go "test-free" and not accept SAT or ACT scores, especially at University of California campuses and at many universities across the US still. UC Berkeley, on its website, states "Since Berkeley is a competitive campus, satisfying the minimum requirements is often not enough to be competitive for selection. In addition to the basic admission requirements, the campus selects its freshman class through an assessment that includes a holistic review of your academic performance as measured primarily by" and then lists
weighted and unweighted UC grade point average,
planned 12th grade courses,
pattern of grades over time,
The number of AP/IB, honors, or transferrable college courses completed,
level of achievement in those courses relative to other UC applicants at your school,
scores on AP or IB exams

The importance of grades we've spoken about here often, so roughly, it's grades and the number and performance on AP exams! Basically, since the UCs were barred from accepting SAT/ACT scores ( https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/15/us/SAT-scores-uc-university-of-california.html ), they've turned their admissions eyes to the AP (and if you're an international student, IB exams). The AP scores are the natural equalizer to help assessment across a wide field of differing achievements, differing experiences, differing difficulties through the last few years during Covid, and gives a quantifiable number to compare to all other students. This trend is similar at many of the other exclusive and competitive universities across the US, and Berkeley is merely the first one to spell it out publically.
