To ensure that you get in, get an SAT I of 1950+. The out-of-state UC admissions are very competitive, but you have a good transcript. Also, try taking the ACT. Test scores are important, so make sure that you are well prepared in that sense.

Do more volunteer work over the summer. It looks like you have a pretty solid base in that sort of thing, but the admissions officers seem to love volunteer stuff.
