What UC schools, if any, would I have a chance of getting into?
You need to calculate your UC GPA? https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
Intended major?
My UC GPA is 3.65 and my intended major is business or agriculture.
I would look at UC Merced/Riverside/Santa Cruz. Your UC GPA is below average for all but UCR/UCM. ACT is on target for these schools along with UC Irvine and possibly UC Davis and Santa Barbara. Cal Poly SLO or Pomona are also good options.
UCI/UCR and UCB are the only UC’s that actually have a business school. The rest of the UC’s offer Business Econ type majors, so something to consider.
The UC’s consider GPA/HS course rigor/Test scores and essays as the most important components of your application. Your job and EC’s along with solid essays could give you a boost. I would apply broadly and include 1-2 safety schools.
Good Luck.
