You’re in the 50-50 range for UCI/UCD/UCSB. Could go either way. You should be ok for UCSC, UCR and UCM.

Agree with @ProfessorPlum168, since CS is probably one of the most competitive majors at the UC’s.

California UC’s do not consider Race/Ethnicity in their admission decisions.

Some UC statistical data which is not major specific and based on the capped weighted UC GPA;

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19:

UCB: 12.6%
UCLA: 11.7%
UCSD: 38.7%
UCSB: 53.6%
UCD: 56.5%
UCI: 52.1%
UCSC: 75.7%
UCR: 90.1%
UCM: 96.1%

2018 UC capped weighted GPA averages:
UCB: 4.23
UCLA: 4.23
UCSD: 4.16
UCSB: 4.13
UCI: 4.13
UCD: 4.11
UCSC: 3.96
UCR: 3.81
UCM: 3.71

2018 Data:
25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:

UCB: 1360-1540

UCLA: 1340-1540
UCSD: 1300-1520
UCSB: 1270-1500
UCD: 1220-1480
UCI: 1230-1490
UCSC: 1210-1450
UCR: 1130-1380
UCM: 1020-1280

Apply broadly and best of luck.

Based on your stats, you’ll get into UCI, UCD, UCSB, and possibly UCSD. Good luck!

There is no way to predict your acceptances since each year the UC’s and the CS major becomes more competitive. Present the best possible application, make sure you have at least 2 safety schools and your list and hope for the best. You are a competitive applicant but there is no way to predict that you will get into all these schools.
