Good grades. Decent SATs. But it seems like they let a variety of people in, which is a good thing I suppose.

Study, GPA'S, and SAT scores. Since it's a UC app, that's all they're going to care about, despite their goal for a more subjective review.

Decent grades and SAT score. If you play a sport, that helps out as well.

Strong grades and a high SAT score are the basics. Aside from that, I focused on student government in high school, gradually increasing my involvement as Senior year approached. From looking at a few of my friends who got accepted or rejected, the adcom also seem to like to see a few unrelated ECs on the side, but certainly you need a main one that shows you can stick to something in particular.

I got straight A's in high school, played three sports, was involved in theatre and clubs, and did a loooooottttt of community service. That said, I thought I would be a bit of a standout at Cal, but EVERYONE is like that there.
Business - Management and Administration
High test scores and high grades. The personal statement and extracurricular activities are important but not as important as test scores and grades.
Chemistry
the usual...I took all the AP classes I could got mostly As and then did decent on the SAT. Though if you aren't from California. it will be much harder to get in.
Civil Engineering
As an out-of-state student I must say that the personal statement was probably the most important part of the application. Most people who apply have decent grades. I never liked the SAT and I didn't do that well on mine either (1330). And again many people who apply have some extracurricular. Some activities they spent more time working on than others. But your personal statement describes why you should be admitted. What makes it so vital that you should be a student of the University of California, especially if you're coming from out-of-state? Make sure you spend most of your time on that part of your application. And of course, review your application thoroughly before submitting it! Oh last of all, make sure you carefully chose your major especially if you are applying to the college of engineering, 'cause once you choose your major and submit your application, it's final!
