Chance Me statistics for the 9 Univ. of CA campuses

I accidentally posted this at the UCSB section... I meant to post it here.
Here is a UC site in which you can see the admit stats by both GPA and SAT for the nine UC schools. This report shows % accepted for each GPA and SAT band, to me a more complete picture than the 25/75 or mean stats used most often.

University of California: StatFinder

Choose from the menus:

1) Undergraduate Admission
2) Freshmen entered from High School
3) Fall 2007
4) California Residents (or not)
5) choose the schools -- e.g. UCLA, UCD, UCSB, UCD, UCI, UCSC
6) Admissions rates and counts
7) Simple Table
8) High School GPA, Weighted, Capped -and- Total SAT Reasoning Score
9) Run Table

Caveat 1: The *very* large (almost so large as to be impractical) range in each SAT band.
Keep in mind the ave. acceptance at 1825 is a lot lower than the ave acceptance at 2075, even though both are in the 1800-2100 band. There is a curve within each band that is not specified here.

Caveat 2 - Bonus points for "Life Challenges"
Some school place huge importance on Life Challenge categories like 1st gen college, single parent home, lousy high school, participation in academic advancement program, etc. Since these bonus points (actual numeric formula points at UCSD and UCD (see their admissions websites) and subjective points at the rest) are unknown on these tables, applicants who have Bonus Points from being in these categories will likely get in with lower stats, and applicants with higher stats with none of these bonus points could be rejected even with very high stats.
