Back when I was applying for college, the UC system, on paper, accepted the top 1/8 of HS grads, the state college system the top 1/4 and the city/community college system any HS grad. Somewhat foolishly I only applied to UC even though my HS GPA was something like 2.9. But I was good at standardized tests and got in with my SAT scores. My rejection and acceptance letters arrived within a week of each other. Graduated in four years which was pretty standard for the time, but is somewhat exceptional now.
