You say this as if I'm just supposed to accept it, but I don't believe it. UCB, along with UCLA, are the top tier of the UC system. I don't think it's a big stretch to think that someone who might be applying to UCB wouldn't be applying to UCSD.

I'm not coming straight out and saying you're wrong here, but I am saying this is a statement that needs supporting.

Anecdotally, I applied to only 2 UCs: Berkeley and UCSD. Several of my friends that applied to (and some of whom who attended) Berkeley and UCLA also applied to UCSD, UCSC, or UCSB.
