While UC does look favorably on COSMOS participants, exactly how many points is not that clear.

In the Personal Statement section of the UC Davis application process, the instructions state:

Question 1: Academic Preparation

The university seeks to enroll students who take initiative in pursuing their education (for example, developing a special interest in science, language or the performing arts; or becoming involved in special programs including summer enrichment programs, research or academic development programs such as EAOP, MESA, Puente, COSMOS or other similar programs). This question seeks to understand a student’s motivation and dedication to learning.
