Are you a resident of California?
UC’s cater to instate residents. If you are not instate, you would pay full fees of $65K per year. The UC’s should never be considered safeties.

Hooks: These are not something that you pick and choose that you decide is a hook.
Hooks are something that the university seeks and needs and are very specific but they generally include:

-Recruited athlete
-URM-Underrepresented minority student like African-American, Native American, Hispanic, etc.

-Legacy,
-Celebrity (think Malala, olympic athletes) or celebrity status-like a world renowned artist, world activist (Greta Thunberg)
and
-large donors (donating a building or a wing to a university).

As for your chances, all you can do is apply. If you are a California resident, you need some CSU’s for safeties.
