[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The UC's admit by high school.  So a low performing high school in the ghetto will get as many acceptances as a high performing one.

The trick is to be in one of these school.

University High in Irvine is treated the same as Dominguez High in Compton.  University High has 30 plus SAT NMSF, 100 Commended scholars.  Dominguez High has zero.

Dominguez High sends the same amount of students to Berkeley and UCLA as does University High.[/quote]

Honey, you shouldn't say things that are easily proven wrong. Dominguez High had 14 admitted to Berkeley and UCLA. University High had 55.

Dominguez High has 1,600 students Dominguez High has 0 NMSF finalists and 0 Commended. 
University High has 2,363 student.  University High has 33 NMSF finalists, 102 Commended

Keep dreaming if you think their applications are being treated equally.

Berkeley
21 Applied

University High

For Berkeley at University High 11.3% of the school applied compared to 1.31% at Dominguez High.  If you assume only 25% could apply that something like 45% of the seniors applied from University High vs 5.25% from Dominguez High.  Let’s say Berkeley took the top 10% from each high school, you didn’t even get the top 10% of students applying from Dominguez High but may have had almost half the class from University High.  I’m not sure what is meant by “treated equally” when you are comparing maybe half of the seniors class applying from one school (and clearly they aren’t all the top 5 -10% at their school) versus maybe 5% applying and it being from the top students at the school.
