UCI uses capped weighted UC GPA. Fully weighted uncapped is used by UCLA/UCB.

This link will show by major the average UC capped weighted GPA and SAT test scores for enrolled applicants for the last few years to give you an idea of your chances.

Your Capped weighted UC GPA is below the 25th percentile for UCI but SAT scores are above the 75th percentile. I think you have a chance for an acceptance at UCI but UCI tends to be very GPA focused. UCSB and UCSD will be tough admits but UC admissions is not only based on stats so you never can tell.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.40-3.79 (capped weighted) and not major specific:

UCB: 1.8%
UCLA: 2.2%
UCSD: 7.2%
UCSB: 10.1%
UCI: 11.1%
UCD: 16.6%
UCSC: 43.8%
UCR: 63.3%
UCM: 88.7%

25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:

UCB: 1280-1490

UCLA: 1280-1500
UCSD: 1250-1470
UCSB: 1210- 1450
UCD: 1190-1430
UCI: 1190-1420
UCSC: 1170-1380
UCR: 1090-1310
UCM: 1020-1230

Best of luck and hopefully you have some solid safety and match schools on your list.

@Gumbymom Thank you! My hope for UCI at the moment is only alive due to the fact they accept into school first not by major so maybe there’s a super small chance I can get into the school as undeclared?? Idk tho
