highopes,
To be eligible to even apply to the UC system you do indeed have to be in the top 12.5% statewide. University of California - Admissions
If you are not in the top 12.5%, you can try to apply as "eligible by exception," but only a very small % of those students are admitted - and they usually have extremely unusual circumstances and have shown great potential in some way.
