Thank you so much for taking your time to read this!
UCR: High Match
UCI/UCD: Reach
Your UC GPA and SAT score is below average for all schools listed. I would consider UCM as a possible Match and look into some of the Cal States such as CSUF/Cal Poly Pomona/SJSU/Chico State/Sac State/Sonoma State.
Essays could give you a boost, but since the UC’s are so competitive, I would make sure I have some solid Matches and Safeties on your list at non-UC schools.
You can check this like for the Freshman Profile of each UC of interest to see how you compare:

Good Luck.
Unless you bring your SAT up significantly, all the UCs except Merced are probably out of reach. A very strong essay and EC list might get you into UCR.
I’d encourage you to retake the SAT and apply to a handful of UCs but,also apply to several CSUs to keep your options open. I’d add CSULB and Northridge to the list above. A better SAT would open the door to SDSU.
Good luck
