Lots of discussion on that topic here:

California HS admits Regional preference or not?

This is likely true. The one pattern I’ve noticed is that there is a bit of a regional bias in UC admits. NorCal admits more into UCB and UCD, while SoCal admits more into UCLA, UCI, and UCSD. I could see this in my S22’s admissions by source school dashboard. 2022- UCB [image] 2022 UCLA [image] 2021 UCB [image] 2021 UCLA [image] I believe there was someone on these boards last year whose daughter got into Caltech and MIT but was waitlisted/denied by some of the lesser UCs even though she got ino UCB LSCS. I am not sure its yield protection but there is clearly some “fit” factor that these UCs have honed in on based on hundreds of thousands of reviewed applications over a period of time.
