I think @ProfessorPlum168 is spot on. With 100K+ applicants you really need to shine in course rigor, UC GPA, test scores, and ECs with strong essays; especially if applying to impacted majors. @skieurope loves to say that it’s not an “arms race” to see who can take the most AP/IB classes but for schools like UCB/UCLA it definitely matters as there are just too many in-state qualified applicants looking for an affordable, top 25 college to attend.
