I’m not sure how admission results help you as last year there were over 92K freshman applicants at UCLA, and over 73K at both UCB and UCSD. Other than someone saying their kid applied to whatever UCs and got acceptances to whatever UCs, what could you conclude from that? And if you’re looking to compare a successful say UCLA applicant’s application to D, I don’t like to use absolutes like all or every, but I’ll bet the no two applicants had exact same background (academic or otherwise) as D at any of top 3 UCs. There are just too many high schools with differing grading systems, offering different course opportunities whether at high school or DE, with kids having countless differing ECs opportunities, etc, etc, that even if you had 100 similar applications, do you know how any particular UC weighs out various factors in an application. I’d guess, probably not. Even if you don’t “feel love”, if your D wants to go to UCLA, check the UCLA box, send the fee, and see what happens. Good luck to D.
