Keep in mind that only the top 12.5% statewide are eligible to apply to ANY of the nine undergraduate UC campuses. So when you see UCI's admit rate of 48.5% or UCSB's of 49.2%, those were selected from a pool where virtually all of the students (including the rejected ones) were already in the top 12.5% statewide. They are far more selective than those numbers would lead you to believe.
