How are admissions decisions actually made?

I know UCSD uses a point system for freshmen, so maybe it’s not much different for transfers?

… Though transfer admissions are much more point-blank than freshmen admissions. Maybe they look at transferability (IGETC or the other one; I forget what it’s called), completion of pre-reqs, and GPA rigorously - and then consider most everything else (ECs, essays, special programs, etc) usually if the applicant is on the fence.

That’s just my guess.
