You can’t really ever guarantee you will get in but this is what I would recommend to be a solid candidate.

UC GPA above 4.00
1950+ SAT or 29+ ACT
EC’s always help but you don’t need to be the founder of 5 clubs at your high school. If you have leadership in one and show that you were active in that club then I think that is good enough. Also try to get some community service hours if you haven’t already.
