The thing about Berkeley (or any UC) is that their applicant numbers are very skewed. While a student with roughly 3.3 gpa would almost never apply to Penn, thousands of students do apply to Berkeley. They fill out the UC app hoping to get into schools like santa barbara, riverside and santa cruz. then they look down the list and check off the box to berkeley and ucla just for the hell of it- no additional work required.

Many people get into regents and especially berkeley in general who don’t get in to top privates.

Just my experience
