Aren't there top public high schools in CA that send far more than 12.5% of their class to UC's? I'm looking this up and getting the impression that they want the top 12.5% of the state's high school graduates, which may not be evenly distributed among high schools.

And even if everyone was in the top 12.5% by class rank, how do you get 95%+ of your class in the top 10%? It's mathematically possible, but sounds unlikely and you definitely wouldn't expect (estimate) it.
