my chances at mid-top UCs (sb, sd, la, berk)

Hi I am an asian male that goes to a relatively competitive school (top 150 in nation).

SAT1: 2230 - 770M/720CR/740W
SAT2: taking after summer; expecting 750+ in math 2 and physics

uw GPA: 3.6 (yikes)
w GPA: 4.1

EC/awards:
editor for school newspaper ~ 3 years
literary chronicles- staff writer
2nd place opinion story from Best of Highschool Journalism
Tennis 4 years ~ varsity 2 years
Badminton league at local community center
Anti-bullying society (officer, kind of a bs club)
Linguistics club (officer)
Mu Alpha Theta (2 years)
regular volunteer for Highschool Heroes (you teach at an elementary school classroom for a day)
political campaigning intern this summer and into the fall semester
national merit commended (hopefully semifinalist with 222)

I know my gpa is low, and ucs care a lot about gpa. but hopefully my test scores and ecs will compensate for it. Thanks for the chances

I think you're set for SD and SB. As for LA and B, i think your uw is a tad bit low.. but you can't change that. What you can change is your personal statement. If there's anything special about you, like hardship for example, that might help bump your app.
