[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]

You're absolutely right and the data shows it. "In San Francisco, students at Mission High, a public school with a large population of students who are economically disadvantaged or come from marginalized communities, had a higher acceptance rate for UC Berkeley than any other public or private high school in the city, the UC data shows. Of the 78 Mission High students who applied to UC Berkeley this year, 29 were admitted, amounting to a 37% acceptance rate."
