You look like a very qualified applicant for all the UC’s. UCLA/UCB are always tough admits. Just make sure you are able to afford full fees $60K/year with little to no financial aid since you are OOS.
Also make sure you meet all the a-g course requirements especially the VPA requirement which trips up many OOS applicants.

UCLA tends to look at the whole package. That means also being socially active in your community. Do you have any social, non-academic community activities? Sports? Food Bank? Eagle Scout? Marching band or orchestra?
Another question: Can you afford UCLA?
Non residents pay full fees of nearly $60K per year. There is no financial aid for non-residents.
The UC’s are public universities funded by the state and its residents. There is political pressure to admit more California residents.
What is your specific ACT? UCs don’t superscore.
Did you take 1 year of visual or performing arts graded classes (UC subject “F” requirement)?
This requirement trips up a lot of non-residents.
Right now, I don’t see your chances as being good since I see a student with a lot of “academic” activities who didn’t step out of that comfort zone.
I am a library volunteer, I also volunteer at the hospital. My overall ACT w writing is a 34 highest, I said 33/34 to show consistency. The financial aid is no problem. I am taking an Art class next year. Also what is vpa?
Also @“aunt bea” what should I do to ‘step out of my comfort zone’?
Visual/Performing art requirement (VPA)
Your Art course should fulfill that requirement.
OK thank you! Do you @Gumbymom have any critics/advice to improve my resume? Thanks!
