In REA, for non-athletes, it's probably a 3% acceptance rate.

You can do the math. There were at best 10 REA's accepted from socal for class of 2028.
Athletic recruits from southern California, class of 2028 (not all sports listed)
Water Polo (men's and women's): 7
Track/Cross Country: (men's and women's): 3
Swimming/Diving: (men's and women's):1
Basketball: (men's and women's):2
Rowing, light and heavy: (men's and women's): 2
Baseball/softball: 2
Football:2
Golf (men's and women's):2
Sailing:1
Fencing: 2
Volleyball (men's and women's):2
Harvard University received 7,921 applications to the Class of 2028 in the early round, accepting 692 for a rate of 9 percent. Where are you getting the 2,980 figure?

No special ECs, wow. Not something you hear often for that many Ivy acceptances.
URM is still a hook if conveyed in the app

Can you tell me more about the DE? Was it through the HS or directly through the college? Was it through a community college or a four year college? How many credits were taken and in what kinds of classes? THanks

There are something like 800 high schools in southern California. So a handful of unhooked Harvard students, probably fewer than 25. Keep in mind that just one city, Irvine, California, has over 130 National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists.
Misread it. There were 35 REA applicants accepted from southern California, out of 259 applicants. Only 103 acceptances were from southern California, not 130.

Not my kid, but the student who was number one in the class at my child’s rigorous private was admitted without any hooks to Harvard SCEA. One unusual extracurricular.

Were they an athlete or legacy? Or great student / ECs with no other hooks?
