California has come up with a program that offers admission to a four-year state campus to high schoolers in (I believe -- someone correct me) the top 4%...but it does NOT guarantee admission to the campus of your choice. So you definitely get a four-year education, but it might be at UC-Riverside or a Cal State school instead of Berkeley or UCLA; those campuses are allowed to maintain their standards as they see fit, which in effect means that you need to submit a high SAT score in addition to your class rank. This is how they've avoided the severe overcrowding problems that UT is struggling with.
