Chance me for UCLA, UCI, Cal Poly Pomona, USC, CSULB?

I'm planning on applying to the following colleges and I'm going to major in Mechanical Engineering:

Cal Poly Pomona
USC
UC Los Angeles
UC Irvine
Cal State Long Beach
UC Riverside
CSU Fullerton
Rutgers
Cal Poly SLO (maybe)
San Diego State


I would be considered out of state for all of these schools.

I sort of messed up since I didn't take any honors or AP classes my freshman or sophomore year. I really slacked off my freshman year, but became a lot more serious and became more dedicated to my studies starting my soph. year.

Over 130 volunteer hours.

I worked at a restaurant during the summer after my sophomore year.

I have currently been running a successful YouTube channel were I have been making reasonable revenue since 2010 (And yes it is appropriate content :P )

That's about everything that I can put. So, what are my chances for acceptance for the schools that I've listed? I know they may be a little bit worst considering that I'm from Texas, but I have family in the LA area that I would like to live near, and not to mention that I really don't like living here. Thanks in advance!

This begs the question: do honors classes only begin in grade 11 at your school?

Cal Poly Pomona: Low match
USC: High match
UC Los Angeles: High match (OOS might help you but, if you need institutional fin-aid it becomes a reach)
UC Irvine: Low match (or safety)
Cal State Long Beach: Safety
UC Riverside: Safety
CSU Fullerton: Safety
Rutgers: Safety
Cal Poly SLO (maybe): Low match
San Diego State: Safety
