I am planning applying to Computer science @ UC Irvine/Davis/Santa Barbara, what are my chances? I think UCSD, Berkley, LA are out of reach, what do you guys think?

              UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
UCSB/UCD and UCI use the Capped Weighted UC GPA.  UCLA/UCB use both Capped Weighted and Fully Weighted.
EC’s? Any related to CS?
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              UC GPA=4.0(All As)
EC= VP of comp sci club, VP of Science Olympiad, 100+ hr of volunteer work, medal winner in Sc Olympiad, internship at UC super computer center( image processing)
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              You look like a competitive applicant fir the UC’s listed. Best of luck
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              I want to pursue Computer Science, since it is highly impacted, is it worthwhile to choose adjacent major like Electrical engineering so that I have better chance for admission?
Does major selection play important role within engineering school admission?
             
            
              
              
              
            
           
          
            
            
              With  a 4.0, your GPA is a little light for the mid-tier UCs.  I’d apply - but also apply to UCR, UCSC - both of which have excellent CS programs.   SDSU, CPP and, perhaps CP SLO are also worth a shot.
