UCB: I don’t expect you to but I wouldnt be surprised. Low reach/high match
UCLA: Probably not if your applying CS. Low reach
UCSD: I think you’ll get in but maybe not
UCI: Low match
UCD: Low match
UCSB: Low match
USC: High match /low reach
Cal Poly: You should get in but occasionally they reject people with high stats
Good Luck
