Is UC Berkeley selective?

Sometimes, those school data aren’t that helpful because admissions are subjective (holistic approach), thus I’m asking, do those students in NY find Berkeley easier to get into than schools like Vanderbilt, Emory, Rice or Notre Dame?

<p>I went to a top public in NY that routinely sends kids to the Ivy League and other elite schools and almost nobody from my HS applies to the UCs. The only California schools that get 3+ students attending are Stanford and USC. There is a strong preference in my HS to attend private schools, and the only OOS publics that get 3+ students each year are UVA, UNC, and Michigan.</p>
