I agree with a few of the above posters in regards to your chances. Also graduating early does impact your chances (not in a good way) since UC’s consider HS course rigor Very Important. UC’s only weight AP/IB courses, not Dual Enrollment or Honors course for OOS applicants.

UCSC is a Match school as long as you did not apply for any Engineering major.
UCSB would a High Match 50/50 especially with a 1290 SAT since UC’s do not superscore.
UCLA is definitely a Reach.

As stated by @ProfessorPlum168, as an OOS full pay student, your chances are better since the UC’s love that extra infusion of money but hopefully you have some other schools on your list as backup.

Best of luck.
