I'm not qualified to tell you what UCs you would make it into, but I do see a discrepancy between your majors and your courses. You've taken three years of math, no honors or AP science, are not planning on taking any SAT IIs in science or math and want to major in some pretty heavy calculus oriented science majors. You might want to rethink that. Or at least recognize that you will need to make up a few years science and math compared to your peers once you get to University. As for the SAT IIs, the UCs recommend math II for science majors.

from my experience here's how it'll go with a 3.6 and an 1800

UC Berkeley = rejected
UCLA = rejected
UC San Diego = rejected
UC Davis = rejected
UC Santa Barbara = reach
UC Riverside = accepted (Riverside is still practically open enrollment in September, it's not exactly a great college town out there in the inland empire)

my advice if you want Cal or UCLA. Go to a JC and get straight A's, prep for the SAT and get over 2000, and then transfer in as a junior

UC Berkeley = astral reach
UCLA = astral reach
UC San Diego = astral reach
UC Davis = reach
UC Santa Barbara = reach
UC Riverside = match

if you get a better sat and subject score you could be a better match for santa barbara and davis.
for the other three, aside from going to a community college, transferring from UC to UC is also a neat option.

hope this helps. =)
