They use different point systems. UCD gives a lot more points for over 35 semesters of a-g approved courses. While UCSD gives points for classes over the min. a-g, they only give you a fixed certain number of points if you have over 35 a-g, while UCD gives points for every class over the a-g min., up to 1000 points. At UCSD, it is really not a helpful distinguishing factor, since most students applying have over 35 semesters a-g. So, if you have many a-g courses that will help a lower gpa. Also, I think Davis only weights up to 8 semesters of honors. They also give more points for leadership at Davis–up to 500. So, there are people that get rejected from UCSD and get into Davis and visa versa.
