Chance me for most UCs!

Hey there CC board. I'm currently a senior living in California and I plan on applying to all the UCs except for Riverside, Merced, and Santa Cruz as well as Cal Poly SLO. I may also apply to privates, but I am not so sure yet, so if you have any suggestions that would fit my stats/interests, please let me know! Here are my stats (albeit they aren't the greatest)

INTENDED MAJOR: Chemical Engineering

GPA: 3.45 UW, 3.78 UCW

Honors/AP courses (sophomore/junior): AP European History (4), English Honors, Geometry Honors, Chemistry Honors, AP Chemistry (5), AP Biology (5), AP USH (5), AP English Language (4), Pre-Calc H, Spanish H

Senior APs: AP Calc BC, AP economics (micro and macro), AP Physics B, AP Stats

Test Scores:
SAT: 2050, but I am retaking it in October and expecting a 2200+
Subject test: Chem (800) and Math II (730)

Extracurricular:
Volunteer 500+ hours at a summer program
Tennis team (possibly captain this year)
Tutor brother/sister and kids at school
Chemistry Club
School research program

Thanks in advance for the help guys!

Why not keep Santa Cruz on the list? I think all of the others (except R and M, and MAYBE SB which was 3.97) are averaging at least a 4.0 UCGPA. Your SAT is fine. You might want to check out SCU, since they might weigh SAT more heavily than the UC's. They have a good rep for engineering, although I don know about chemical.
