<p>Tough call, it could go either way. Your test scores are great, your ECs are fine but your grades are sub-par for UCI. Be sure to apply elsewhere.
Good luck</p>

<p>UCI has more of a tendency to accept lower test scores with higher GPA than the other way around.</p>

<p>UCI: Low Reach</p>

<p>As @NCalRent noted, apply broadly so you have several good choices.</p>
