UCSD: High Reach
UCI/UCSD/USB: Reach
UCR: High Match
UCM: Match
SDSU: Low Reach
CSUF/CSULB: High Match
CPP: Match
CSULA: Safety

Your UC GPA and SAT scores are low for all the UC’s except UCM. If you are top 9% in your HS (ELC eligible), you will get into UCM.
Your Eligibility index is 3852. Low for CSULB and SDSU. Borderline for CSUF.

I would remove UCSD and UCD and/or UCSB from your list. I would add SJSU and your local CSU (as a Safety). Your personal statement could give you a boost but the UC’s will screen first by GPA and then test scores.
If you able to get your SAT score up into the 1800 range, your chances at UCR/SDSU/CSUF and CSULB would be better.

Good Luck.
