rank factored into admission?

<p>do they consider your rank in the admissions process? And how much emphasis do they put on community service?</p>

<p>My son's guidance counselor told us that the UCs don't use rank although they do look at ELC (eligible in the local context i.e. top 4%)</p>

<p>i think for uc's elc is more important</p>

<p>and it seems to be the reason i got in was because of my community involvement.</p>
