Both Local and Statewide are given the same UC campus guarantee and I have never seen confirmation that they are reviewed differently in the application evaluation. The article I linked and all data that has been presented, lumps them together.
This information has been discussed many times and this posts shows some analysis done on the subject.
There are actually three classifications of students who are trying to qualify for a UC campus per Figure 2 of @ucscuuw’s link in post #2 of this thread:
- Those who have qualified under overall state-wide standards, noted as Index in addition to qualifying under local context at those high schools which “participate” in ELC;
- Those who are trying to qualify solely under ELC, the local high-school context;
- And those who are trying to qualify by meeting the overall statewide standards and whose schools don’t partake in ELC.
For a school to participate in ELC {as seen in Figure 1}, there seems to be some sort of standard as seen by those schools which have ≥ 15 APs as ELC schools, which is {the} vast majority. And I think UC wants these schools to be subject to its various metrics it produces, e.g., keeping track of these students’ progress, {and making sure that UC’s standards are met at these high schools, as well as keeping tabs on students’ rankings within their high schools}, etc.
But despite the double notation of those who q for UC {-- under the overall state pool as well as locally under ELC}, some of the {UC} schools still don’t accept a majority of those which apply, notably, UCB and UCLA, although the acceptance rate for both is a good deal higher than their overall A/R.
{Not sure if this is completely what I wanted to state, but if I have some other thoughts, I’ll add them.}
