Great GPA and ECs but SAT is on the lower side. If you are able to increase it to 2100+, most will be matches. Considering a score of atleast 2050 :

UC Berkeley: High match - Low Reach
UCLA: Match - Low Match
USC, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, UCSD: Matches
Stanford: Reach - High Reach (Optimal SAT : 2250+)

Try increasing your SAT and I think you should be fine. Chance me back? I’m an international. (http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1789061-chance-an-international-for-ucb-ucla-umich-ga-tech-and-more.html#latest)

What is your UC GPA? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Competitive UW GPA and agree SAT could be higher.
Based on current Stats:

UCLA/UCB: Reach
UCSD: Low Reach
USC/UCD/UCSB: High Match
UCI: Match
Stanford: High Reach

Get that SAT above 2100 and you would have a good chance at all schools except Stanford which is Reach for everyone.
Good Luck.

Id likely concur with WhiteFlameAB. Good luck with your apps!

Thanks for chancing me! @WhiteFlameAB @Gumbymom @TheAtlantic
@WhiteFlameAB do you have any study tips to get that 2100+ SAT score? I’m not a very good test taker!
