UCLA, UCSD, UCSB and UCD do not offer a “Business Admin” major. UCI, UCR and UCB are the only UC’s that offer an Undergraduate Business school.
6 of the 9 UC’s have average UC capped weighted GPA’s of 4.0+ and the UC’s tend to be very GPA focused. SAT is within range for some of the UC’s but combined with your GPA, it will be a tough admit for all the UC’s on your list except UCR.
HS course rigor is another important component in the UC application review so the lack of AP’s will not help your chances.
Some UC statistical data to help you gauge your chances. The data is not major specific and based on the capped weighted UC GPA.
For the best chances, you want to be at or above the averages.
The Cal states would be a better option for you as a Business major but if you are targeting Cal Poly SLO or SDSU, they only accept up to October ACT sitting and the November SAT sitting.
Information regarding UCR’s application review for Intended Business majors:
For Business: Freshmen students must apply to Pre-Business under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences (CHASS). The College breadth requirements and the prerequisites for a Business major are completed during the freshman and sophomore years. An application is submitted at the end of the sophomore year. Upon acceptance, students become Business majors and are then advised in the Business Department. Students from any academic major may also complete a Business minor.
