I did not say that I'm basing national standards on the UC system. I'm simply stating that academics will be a bigger factor in admissions in the coming years, disregarding the UC admissions policy change.

Care to reread my post? I didn't say that the admissions process will be focusing 100% on academics...

If you're going to apply to a good school, better have some APs in your arsenal. Also, I did mention that you don't have to take tons of APs to look "good"; take as many as you can handle, whether its a few or a lot, just bring back good grades and outstanding AP exam scores. Admission officers don't like to see people who go all-out on APs and epic phailled on it.
I'm done arguing. Lets get back on track
