at least the CSU schools are pretty up front about the advantage in the admissions process they give to students within their "local" area. I don't think the UC schools offer that at all. Study hard, boys and girls! Good grades really do matter!

Good grades really do matter but it may not be enough either when talking about the UCs as they're currently set up. I've seen 4.0+ kids with leadership roles, volunteer work, varsity sports, etc. not accepted to UCLA but accepted to Merced. No offence to Merced but it's not UCLA or Cal or even UCSB.
Regarding applying to 3-4 different campuses, it's crazy. Kids/parents are playing the game and trying to figure out what the UC admission logic is and who knows what it is.
Here are some 2012 application/admission numbers:

Sorry about getting sidetracked about the UC admission process.
