“but every year you’re going to see people with relatively low GPAs get into Berkeley, people with relatively high GPAs get rejected, and people who get rejected from SB but accepted to Berkeley.”

There must be good reason for the statistical deviants you brought up. Maybe the person with the low GPA was competing against 10 people for 11 spots. Or maybe he has Godly ECs. Likewise, the person with the high GPA may be applying to a competitive department( such as Hass ) and may end up competing with 99 people for 7 spots.

I’m just suggesting that admissions might be more predictable than you think.
