<p>If you don't get in, it's your GPA. But I don't think it matters because you have a strong SAT score and a fair amount of AP's.
I'll say-</p>

<p>UCLA/UCB: Match</p>

<p>I agree, with the other folks who responded. The only thing I see as a possible hindrance for you getting admissions to LA or Cal is your GPA. Average I think is for both schools from the UC Admission Catalog that I have is</p>

<p>Capped: 4.17
Wieghted: 4.22
UW: 3.82</p>

<p>But, at the same token, you chose a major that isn't heavily impacted, you have taken a substantial amount of AP classes, and you are well rounded. If your essays are good then you will be okay.</p>
