You have posted in UCR forum.
Check your stats against the average Freshman profile at UCB. Average uW GPA was 3.91 last year so your GPA will be a huge issue. Your SAT score is on target. If you have a compelling reason for your lower than average GPA, I would have your GC address it or mention in your essay question prompts.
UCB is a Reach but UCR could be a Match.
Make sure you apply widely and have some solid Match and Safety schools.
UCB is pretty unlikely with your GPA. Apply anyhow and submit an amazing essay - you never know.
You aren’t going to want to hear this but, UCM is probably the best academic fit (among the UCs) for you. Again, your GPA is the culprit (that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t apply to all of them, just understand your odds and map an alternate path)
Take a good look at the CSUs. You are a very strong candidate for all but CP SLO (and maybe SDSU)
I hope you prove me wrong
