<p>I’m afraid your GPA is low for those schools (as are your score predictions). I’d call them reaches with those stats.</p>

3

<p>They care about GPA and SAT. Agree with Cult, your scores are too low. Do you have any other EC’s? Sports, school clubs? </p>

4

<p>5% chance you’d get in. </p>

<p>Average UC GPA for all schools listed was 4.0+
UCLA/UCSD: Reach
UCI/UCSB: High Match/Low Reach
Chances based on your anticipated ACT/SAT scores
If you can get an ACT of 30+ or SAT 2000+ then you would have a better chance.
If you are set on UC’s, I would consider UCSC and UCR.</p>
