I think that’s it! I know it’s long, but I would really appreciate the help. I’m very worried about how my standardized tests are going to affect the decisions…

UC’s tend to care about test scores less than most schools. What’s your intended major? Based on what you’ve listed I’d say UCSC is a safety. UCI, UCD, UCSD, and Cal Poly SLO seem like matches. I’d be surprised if you didn’t get in and UCB and UCLA are reaches for everyone these days tbh.

Thanks for the response! My intended major is usually cognitive science or data science, depending on what the school offers. For most schools, it’s something in their college of letters & sciences.

I’m really, really hoping for UCLA (probably top choice), but I figured it was a reach. However, I also really like UCI and UCSD, so I’m hoping for those as well! Thanks again for replying!
