Your Capped weighted UC GPA is above the averages, SAT within range and your EC’s looked focused and major related.
I would say you are competitive and UCD is a possible target school.

UCD: 41%
2019 UC capped weighted GPA averages along with 25th-75th percentile range:
UCD: 4.13 (4.00-4.26)

Best of luck.
How would you quantify the odds?
No way to quantify. UC admissions is more than numbers. It will depend upon how you stack up against the other applicants, how the admission reader views your essays and EC’s along with are you a fit for UCD.
I would say UCD is target school so better than average chances.
