Okay so i’ve been making my listr of colleges to apply to and I want to know with brutal honesty if I even have a shot. I’m thinking of UCI (my #1), UCR, UCSC, UCD, UCSD (feels like a lonmg shot), cal poly san luis obisbo, San Diego State and that’s what I have so far in mind. My GPA weighted is 3.75 for grades 10-12 and I failed Algebra 2 sophomore year (retook it) so I know I already sound like I won’t get in anywhee byut keep reading please. I got an 1820 on the SAT and I’m taking it agin in a month, I got a 30 on the ACT. I’m in student government, I’m a link crew leader (like a mentor for freshmen), I’m in a volunteer group with the community and all our proceeds go to children in need, I’m in CSF, I volunteer filling bags for homeless people, I’m in community soccer, I’ve been in the recycling club for 3 years, I was treasurer last year and I’m president this year, I’m VP of the political awareness club, I’ve been in speech and debate all of high school, and I was in troop support (hosted fundraisers and used the money to send care packages to troops) for 2 years until it was cancelled and I was the founder, I’m also an AVID tutor and have taken many AP/honors classes
I think UCI would be pretty realistic and a good target. UCR seems more like a safety, but I can’t say much about it since I don’t know very well. UCSC should be between UCI and UCR in terms of difficulty in getting in (I would lean towards target though), and UCD might be slightly harder. UCSD is definitely a reach, but with a good essay you may just get in.
If you have time please do mine!

Is your weighted GPA, your CSU/UC GPA? http://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/
Intended Major?
Not knowing your CSU/UC GPA and intended major, this is how I would chance you. If you repost with more information, then these may change.
SDSU/UCR: Match
UCSC: High Match
UCI/UCD/SLO: Low Reach (Average UC GPA 4.0+ at these schools)
UCSD: Reach
Your GPA isn’t competitive for UCSD, UCD, UCI, UCSC and SLO. Right now, I see more ‘no’ than yes. I’d suggest you add a couple less selective schools - maybe Long Beach and Fullerton?
Good luck
