ECs:

  • Robotics and physics club — In the leadership team of our school’s physics and robotics club for three years, specifically treasurer for two years and president for one year. As a robotics team that had previously been very inactive, I helped my club become more relevant by focusing on our new members and teaching anything related to the robotics competition we participate in.
    Helped run and maintain our club’s makerspace, worked on multiple personal mechatronics projects which I have created online documentation for for, organized an outreach partnership program with our local library where our club teaches STEM to elementary and middle school students through small projects.
  • Entrepreneurship club — Participated in a LaunchX entrepreneurship club for two years where student teams attempted to create their own start-ups, helped create simple apps and websites for the two teams I participated with, both years we won design awards.

APs:
Sophomore: AP Computer Science(4), AP European History(3)
Junior: AP Chinese(4), AP Calculus(3), AP Physics C(5), AP Psychology(5)

We will assume that my essays and rec letters are decent.

What are my chances for each of these schools if I apply for CS?

UC weighted-capped GPA from https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/ ?

2017 UC admission rates by UC weighted-capped GPA, derived from http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/freshman-admissions-summary :


Campus  4.20-   3.80-   3.40-   3.00-
        higher  4.19    3.79    3.39
UCB     43%     13%      2%      1%
UCLA    47%     12%      2%      1%
UCSD    84%     39%      7%      1%
UCSB    82%     45%     10%      1%
UCI     94%     52%     11%      3%
UCD     90%     56%     17%      4% 
UCSC    93%     76%     44%     14%
UCR     98%     90%     63%     23%
UCM     98%     96%     89%     57%

However, the popularity of CS means that getting direct admission to the CS major will be more difficult than the admission rates above may suggest. If you enroll as a general undeclared student or in another major, it can be difficult or competitive to change into CS later.
