Speaking from personal experience from last year (class of 2018), I can say that my kid applied to the Big 6 UC campuses, visited all 6 before but officially only at UCB and UCLA, and never had any contact of any kind with UCI, UCSB and UCSD. He got accepted to UCB, UCD and UCSB. Got waitlisted for UCI and UCSD. My niece, who had a better GPA and almost the same SAT but not quite as good a public school, applied to the 7 and got accepted at UCI (Honors), UCSB, UCI, and UCSC. Got waitlisted at UCLA and UCSD. I’m 99% sure she never visited UCI before, or had any previous contact.
