I think you are a solid candidate but, UCs can be finicky so, apply broadly.

Your ACT is below the 25th percentile for all but UCI but your GPA is on target.
Make sure your personal insight questions shine. You also are applying to a popular and competitive major so admissions can be unpredictable.

Freshman admits with UC GPA if 3.80-4.19
UCB: 12%
UCLA: 14%
UCSD: 39%
UCSB: 49%
UCD: 52%
UCI: 57%
UCSC: 83%
UCR: 90%
UCM: 92%

UCI: Match
UCD/UCSB: High Match
UCSD: Low Reach

Make sure you select an alternate major for UCSD since Biology is capped.

Good Luck
