Chances at UC Irvine, UC santa barbara, & UC santa cruz with low gpa?

<p>3.56 GPA
1830 SAT
2 summers working in an office
1 job as a ticket scanner
volunteer/ art teacher at an elderly home
volunteer at a wildlife center(only a couple times though)
11 years of Chinese School
1 year jv and 2 years varsity field hockey
1 year jv and planning on 2 years varsity badminton(including senior year)
co-president of a club that helps animals at school
(i failed 1 semester of math but made it up online with a B, the representative from santa cruz said it wouldn't hurt my chances as long as I made it up)</p>

<p>UC Irvine is my TOP choice, and UCSB is my second. I think I'm more in the reach of UC Santa Cruz though but I really want to go to UC Irvine. Will my extracurricular activities make a difference? Everyone that I've talked to said I don't have a chance at UCSB and UC Irvine but i know someone that got in 2 years ago to both UCI and UCSB with a 1700 and 3.8. </p>

<p>IF ANYBODY WITH A 3.5 OR BELOW MADE IT INTO UCI OR UCSB WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS PLEASE TELL ME</p>

<p>UCSB: low reach
UCI: low reach
UCSC: match</p>

<p>is ur gpa weighted or unweighted? and is it ur 10th and 11th grade? my UW gpa is 3.63(including freshman year)
UCI has also been my top choice

im also very much worried about my gpa since my 10th and 11th grade’s gpa is only 3.54
