UCs and class rank?

the UC’s cannot consider class rank bcos ~50% of Calif public HS’s no longer rank. By definition (see “Master Plan”), the UC’s are designed to only accept the top 12.5% of kids in the state, so… [you do the math]…(ignores the fact that in the last couple of years, that number has approached to 14% with special admits, such as athletes)

However, it’s always been unclear to me when they post those stats if they are using only the stats of the 50% publics + privates of schools that DO rank.
