If they did not look at ECs or Essay, UCLA/UCB admissions would be too predictable. I have seen many cases where given the same economic background from the same school, the kid with the higher rank/SAT didn’t get in while the lower ranked applicant got in. Figured it must be the ECs or essay. Either way, better to put your best foot forward in all aspects.
