@preppedparent, according to Fall 2017 admit profiles, UCLA was slightly more competitive. But they’re pretty much the same. Historically, Berkeley has had higher test scores, but it looks like UCLA has closed the gap in admissions. This is likely due to the high demand the campus has been experiencing the last couple of years.
