Welcome to College Confidential and the UCB forum.

First you need to calculate your UC GPA. Please post your UW UC GPA, Capped Weighted UC GPA and Fully Weighted UC GPA:

Since you are OOS, only your AP classes will count for the extra honors points in the calculation.

Also as an OOS applicant, expect to pay full fees at $65K/year with little to no financial aid available, so make sure this is affordable.

Your EC’s look great and your SAT scores are within range.
