UC GPA? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
URM status not considered for California publics so no extra boost.

WashU is desperately trying to get off the list of least-diverse colleges, so I think you have a strong chance there—as long as you let them know that they are a top choice. Demonstrate your interest there. They are heavy into yield-protection.

Northeastern = safety/low-match.

One question: Are you applying for financial aid? A full-pay, first-gen, URM with your excellent stats will be heavily sought-after. Are you applying anywhere else? Yale? Chigaco? Northwestern? Emory? Cornell? Also, what’s your intended major?

My UC GPA is a 4.45

I’m applying for financial aid, and my major is business/econ

Are you in-state for the UC’s?

Yes

USC/UCD/UCSB: Match
UCLA/UCB: Low Reach

Good luck.
