Intended major? SAT II subject tests?

The more competitive major, the higher SAT score will be needed.

For UCB/UCLA, aim for an SAT of 1450+.
For UCSD, again major dependent, I would try to raise that SAT score.

All are within range, but due to the sheer # of qualified applicants, the top UC’s are always a tough admit. You have solid stats, good EC’s with leadership so you will need to have stellar essays to complete your application package.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 4.20 or above:

UCB: 42%
UCLA: 54%
UCSD: 87%
UCSB: 85%
UCD: 91%
UCI: 94%
UCR/UCM: 98%

All you can do is apply and hope for the best.

Regarding the Ivy schools, all are Reaches and your SAT score will be an issue.

Make sure you have some solid Match and Safety schools on your list and best of luck.
