I believe california has a similar program (or did at some time since Bakke), specifically for UC (the "higher tier" university system, versus cal state system)

ELC (https://www.ucop.edu/enrollment-services/programs-and-initia...).

It doesn't get you into the top UC though (which Texas' program does), just any. There is wide variance in UC schools.

Yes and there are definitely CS schools which IMO are better than many UC (cal poly SLO e.g.)

And what is the "top" UC anyways. This is going to be an unpopular opinion but I personally think more favorably of UCSD over cal, and, for some disciplines Davis or SC over cal. UCLA is highly regarded across the board and probably exceeds cal, for, say pre-nursing program.
