<p>They are not dividing up the 1 and 2 scores between the campuses.</p>
<p>A given applicant will be scored by the admissions readers (range 1 to 5, 1 being best). Each campus has its own threshold for admission; the less selective campus and division (e.g. Letters and Science, Engineering, etc.) have lower (higher numerically) thresholds.</p>
<p>For example, an applicant whose application was scored a 3 may be denied at UCB or UCLA, especially for popular divisions or majors, but is likely to be accepted at UCSC. An applicant whose application was scored a 1 will likely be accepted at all three (pretty much certain unless a given division or major is so competitive that tie-break procedures need to be done among the 1 score applicants for that division or major).</p>
