Yeah just wondering, how much does the HS I go to matter?

My high school is really competitive and has grade deflation, so there’s a big discrepancy between my GPA and test scores. My HS profile might do me a favor by showing how competitive the school is. However, I see a ton of kids with 1800s in because of really high GPAs (GPA/SAT combos like that scream grade inflation), so that kind of makes me think that UCLA only cares about the raw numbers and doesn’t care about grade inflation or deflation that might go on in schools. Anyone want to clear this up for me? Thanks
