<p>Well, I used to live on the West Coast…I’d have to say that UC Berkeley’s pool of applicants is going to be stronger than that of UCLA. Right now, I live in New York, and all the top kids at my school applied to UC Berkeley, but have absolutely no interest in UCLA (apparently it doesn’t sound as prestigious to them). Kids with 2250+ applied to UC Berkeley, whereas the kids in the 2000-2100’s range tended to apply to UCLA. That’s just from my experience though.</p>
<p>However, I believe that College Board’s website supports what I see. If you look at the SAT scores for UC Berkeley and then UCLA on the BigFuture part of College Board, you can see that the middle 50% SAT scores are higher for UC Berkeley.</p>
