are you OOS for the UCs? What’s your budget? UC tuition will be $60,000+ per year with little to no financial aid for OOS students.

No I’m in LA but i was wondering more about my chances considering i’m applying cs rather than the cost

Calculate your UC GPA. Use this link if you need help calculating it: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

UCLA and UCB consider your uncapped UC GPA as well as your weighted and capped, and the other UCs consider the weighted and capped GPA. Please post this information so more people on CC will be able to help you. But from what I see, you have a great profile. CS and Engineering are pretty competitive at the UCs though.

I would suggest adding a few more applications to other UCs, Maybe UCD, UCI, UCSB?

Be sure to include some safeties and matches on your list because selective colleges are very unpredictable.

Best of luck.
