If you are interested in UCs, your high school’s weighted GPA is not relevant. UCs and CSUs calculate weighted GPAs their own way, as described at https://secure.csumentor.edu/planning/high_school/gpa_calculator.asp (UCs also calculate a GPA without weighting, and a GPA without the cap on weighting).
If we assume that your high school’s weighted GPA of 4.0 to 4.2 is an unweighted 3.5 to 3.7, then it would be a long shot for UCLA, though some other UCs may be more likely.
But be sure to talk to your parents about costs and what they will contribute, and run the net price calculators on the various colleges of interest. New York University is well known for high cost and poor financial aid, and its net price calculator will give you the bad news up front.
