It doesn't matter about deciles if the only data they get prior to admitting students is whether they're top 4% or not. I can tell you as fact that the overwhelming majority of the 50some kids that got into UCLA and Berkeley from my school were not ELC (our class was 500ish people), so the idea that you're competing against your classmates is not exactly on the money there. If you have the grades, and the SAT as well as the ECs, UCLA and Cal aren't going to reject you. You might not get a scholarship, but you pretty much will get in o O;;
