Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19:

UCB: 12%
UCLA: 14%
UCSD: 39%
UCSB: 49%
UCD: 52%
UCI: 57%
UCSC: 83%
UCR: 90%
UCM: 92%

Your capped/weighted UC GPA is low for CS. The majority of UC’s want that 4.0+ GPA, even though your Fully weighted is on target (UCLA/UCB are the only schools on record that consider this). Your test scores are very competitive but I have seen applicants with great test scores and below 4.0 UC GPA’s get waitlisted or denied for Engineering/CS these past few years.

Good EC’s and hopefully your LOR’s for UCB will help.
Girl in STEM hook not really that helpful for the UC’s.

UCI: Match
UCD: High Match
UCSD: High Match-Low Reach
UCB/UCLA: Reach

I hope you have a few more solid Match and a safety or two on your list.

Good Luck.
