<p>1)UCLA’s a public school, 2)add holistics in admissions which in combination -> some from a lower profile get in.</p>

<p>At good to excellent high schools UCLA matriculants will have higher gpa/SAT’s than USC matriculants, as shown by this database of [PV Peninsula](<a href=“http://www.pvpusd.k12.ca.us/penhi/collegeacceptance/collegeacceptance2010.pdf”>http://www.pvpusd.k12.ca.us/penhi/collegeacceptance/collegeacceptance2010.pdf&lt;/a&gt;) and another here [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.pvhigh.com/CCC/pdf/CCC_Student_Profile_2010.pdf]PVHS[/url”&gt;http://www.pvhigh.com/CCC/pdf/CCC_Student_Profile_2010.pdf]PVHS[/url</a>]. </p>

<p>But UCLA takes more from under-performing high schools, ones USC wouldn’t touch, so this brings down the stats of UCLA (again, UCLA is public). </p>

<p>Add that USC superscores. </p>

<p>Wrt UCLA v Cal, UCLA has a larger geographical burden of u-p high schools in SoCal than Cal in NorCal.</p>
