It’s best not to try to overly compare. It’s true UCLA gets the most apps, but it’s in a beautiful part of LA (Westwood), and historically it has not been as hard as Berkeley to be admitted, so everyone thinks they have a shot, hence the most applied to university.

It is also true, that Berkeley has the reputation of being a near impossible UC to get into, therefore, lots of students don’t even try unless they have perfect stats.

All these things affect admission rates.
