Are these good enough to get into UCLA(my top choice), UCSD and maybe UC Berkeley?
And should I retake the SAT to get a better score or just move onto ACT? I know a senior who has lower GPA than me and got 1820 in her SAT but got accepted into UCLA and UC Berkeley.

Depends on your major. Your UCGPA is incorrect. It’s 8 semesters capped so the max is 4.4. Race does not matter at UC’s. You can only list 5 EC’s.

You are a competitive applicant but UC admissions have been really tough this year. You have a good chance at all the schools but spend time on your essays, which may make a big difference. What are your Match and Safety schools? You will need a few of them just in case. Good Luck.
