High ACT score but you UC GPA is a bit low, but your test scores and ECs will probably make up for it. I would UCSC would be easy to get into. UCSB, UCI, and UCD a little harder, but you are more than likely going to get in. UCSD may be a bit tough, but I still think its manageable. I could see you getting into all of them.

@Gumbymom any input?

Best chances will be UCSC and UCI, although UCI’s Biology major is impacted and the average UC GPA is 4.00. Your ACT is very strong but UC’s tend to be GPA focused. If your essays and EC’s are well received you might have a better chance at UCD and UCSB (both High Match-Low Reach). UCSD will be tough since Biology is a capped major.

Good Luck.
