i think you're good.

seriously, as long as you're 3.0 and up.. you're good in the GPA department for UCR.. and you got good ECs and have some APs.

I did 500 community hours.. -_- apparently, it didn't impress many colleges.

i got in with a 3.2, and lower sat scores than you, AND a fraction of the ECs and APs that you have posted.

you're good to go.

I got in with a 3.4 weighted, 1700 SAT I, Math II 520 (lol), US History 730 and I pretty much didn't do anything in high school. AP classes are not a large factor in admission to a UC.

Remember, UC sends applicants who don't meet requirements to higher tier universities to the feeder schools. (Merced, Riverside, maybe Santa Cruz, not sure).

Looks like it! If not, you can always appeal--you certainly have a case.
