UCSD is generally considered the third best UC, after Berkeley and LA. Some stats for you would be helpful. Generally CCers would be either a match or safety, but for the general population, all the UCs are reaches, and UCSD is actually very selective among the UCs. I personally know a couple bright students at my prep school that are going there and were accepted by a lot of more well-known schools.

@Phead128, considering that the UCs were created to accept the top 1/8 (12.5%) of the best in the state, that is not surprising at all, but yeah, UCSD is definitely pretty good.
