UCLA, UCB and UCSD will be reaches. You’ll be a competitive candidate for the rest.

Good luck.

Based on your posted grades, your UC GPA is 3.84. Your UC GPA is below average for all the UC’s except UCSC/UCR/UCM but your ACT score is above average for the majority.

UCLA/UCB/UCSD: Reach
UCD/UCSB: Low Reach/High Match
UCI: Match/High Match
UCSC/UCR: Match
UCM: Low Match

You are a competitive applicant but UC’s are very GPA focused. Your course rigor is good but you also show a downward grade trend Junior year which will impact your chances. Good Luck and have a good balanced list of Reaches, Matches and Safeties. I would include your local CSU as a solid safety.
