Your SAT is good, EC’s good but UC GPA is below average for all the UC’s except UCM/UCR and UCSC. UCLA/UCSD and UCD will be Reaches based on your GPA. UC’s are very GPA focused and your major is competitive. If you write some compelling essays, then UCD might be a possibility.

Average UC GPA for UCM: 3.67 UCR: 3.78 and UCSC: 3.88. All the rest of the UC’s are 4.0+.

There is no reason not to apply, just be realistic about your chances and have some solid Match and safety schools on your list. I would look at SDSU, CSUF and CSULB as some options for Match/Safety schools.
