Are you in state or out of state? Can you calculated your UC GPA? Go here: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/ and make sure you read the section below the calculator so that you are calculating it correctly.

I am out of state, and my weighted GPA is 3.93 in fact.

Out of state applicants have a higher acceptance rate however, most do not matriculate due to costs. Is $65K/year affordable with no financial aid?

I would say a 50/50 chance since Econ is becoming impacted at UCD. Both GPA and SAT are below the averages.

2018 Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 capped weighted and not major specific: UCD: 41%

2019 Average capped weighted GPA:
UCD: 4.13

2019 Data: 
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT totals:
UCD:    1230-1490

Best of luck and apply widely.
