in my experience, there is also a subtle bias amongst the counselors and school administrators I have worked with. The primary focus of our instruction is college-preparatory. EVERY student in our district (60,000+) is expected to finish an A-G curriculum and be college ready. Obviously, that doesn’t happen, but a sincere and diligent attempt is made. This then leads to an emphasis on UC readiness in an “Aim high and you won’t fall as far” kind of thinking.

Note that the a-g requirements are mostly the same for UC and CSU, so pushing the a-g requirements prepares California high school students for both UC and CSU.
