by SAT scores (combined) UCI is ranked 6th not 4th.
UCB
UCLA
UCSD
UCD
UCSB
UCI
UCSC
UCR
UCM

It is not tied for number of A-G courses either.
by A-G courses (number taken)

UCSD=UCD

UCSB=UCSC

UCI is last for low API and 6th for ELC. How exactly is it a good thing to lock out underprivileged students from attending a UC and having a chance at a future? Try growing up poor without tutors, money for EC's and for many students, food on the table. Try having substandard teachers, being in an unmotivated environment and not having enough books to go around. Try attending a school where there are little or no AP's and tell me how that works for you.
