UCs and class rank?

UCLA’s common data set also says that Rank is “not considered” (in comp review which I thought was the OP’s question, but perhaps I misunderstood).

Re: ELC
if I recall, the Calif 4% program followed Texas’s 10% program, which was intended to expand University opportunity for students from inner city, and low income, poor performing high schools.

Since the ELC caculation is by individual HS, the number of AP/honors courses offered at that HS are not relevant. A high school could theoretically offer only college prep classes (zero honors/ap) and the top 4% of its graduating class would be guaranteed a spot somewhere in the UC system (as long as the student meets the other eligibility critera).

btw: While it has not been the designated ‘guarantee’ campus, UCI does use elc in its comp review, and has accepted all elc students in prior years.
