Thank your for your reply.
In-state.
Major : Business, Communication, Environment or Psychology
Budget: We can manage in-state tuition and room/board.
Yes looking for private colleges in CA if we can get good merit. But we know with merit it could be over our budget… Just wondering we should try.
Test : SAT just got canceled again 
Capped weighted UC GPA 4.3
A 4.3 should make you competitive at all of the UCs but, the newly test blind UCs are really tough to chance. There isn’t enough track record to feel confident about any of them.
Since you want to study Biz, I’d add CPSLO, SDSU. USD, LMU and Chapman will probably offer enough merit aid to make them viable.
Apply broadly and good luck. .
