I think it's because they're actually holistic and they actually care about more than numbers. I always shake my head when schools claim to consider the whole candidate and then it just so happens that all these stellar people also have perfect stats.

What kind of factors weigh heavily in the Berkeley's admissions process? Could you please elaborate?

URM status, impressive work experience, demonstrated commitment to public interest, having a unique or compelling life story

Not an exhaustive list. Just a few things that come to mind.
