We have nearly the same stats (3.97 UC GPA, 32 ACT). My schedule throughout high school is far less rigorous than yours, but I’ve posted many threads for these schools as well, and talked to my college counselour.

I’m assuming you’re applying for CS:

USC: Low Reach
UCLA: Reach
UCB: Reach
UCSD: Low Reach
UCI: High Match
UCSB: Match - High Match
CAl POLY SLO - Low Reach (Their engineering/CS department is really up there)
UCSD: High Match
UCR: Safety

What company do you get your college counseling from? I am applying for engineering.

** You’ve started about 20 chances threads; why does it matter who chances you? The results will continue to be the same and won’t change because you’ve added another chance me thread.** The only ones who know that are the adcoms.

You should have been working on your essays, not asking to be chanced every couple of days.

The UCs are about GPA and scores, FIRST! You’ve been told that.

USC is about football, band, and other athletic recruits if you don’t have the test scores.

Aim for mid-tier UC’s because going into CS is very competitive and you don’t have the scores.

@ILoveCSE Its a local counselor in my city so I don’t think you could reach them :(. And yes the chances would be like that for engineering.
