Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this.</p>
<p>Calculate your GPA into UC GPA calculator, it may be higher. Your extra-curricular are weak…sorry 
Your SAT are very good, and it might offset your GPA. I think UC Berkley, UCLA, and UCSD are out of reach, UC Irvine will probably be a reach, I would make sure the admission officer knows its your first choice. UC Davis, Santa Barbara, and Riverside might be match. Work really hard on your essay, try to get your grades up, visit some of the campuses, take on more extra-curricular activites. GOOD LUCK!</p>
