You need to calculate out all 3 of your UC GPA’s since the UC’s consider all UC GPA’s in their applicaiton review: GPA Calculator for the University of California – RogerHub

Good luck and UC’s are not the only good schools in California for Pre-med intentioned students, several Cal states are worth considering such as Cal Poly SLO, San Diego State, Long Beach state and Cal Poly Pomona.
