Does this sound like a plausible plan?

My high school career thus far has not been very impressive:

freshman:
2.83 / 2.6

sophomore:
.8 / 1.6 ( I made up all the classes I failed )

junior:
2.71 / 3.3

senior year classes:
AP Art History
AP English
AP Gov’t
Chemistry
Algebra II
Spanish III

SAT: 1850
SAT US History: 700
SAT World History: 600

I know I have the potential to do well; my brother goes to Duke and my sister goes to USC. Its in my blood, but unforunately I can get really lazy. The reality of education hit me really late, but now that it is has, I have a large impetus to strive in my classes.

I understand there is an appeal system in the UC’s. If I receive a 3.5+ in my senior classes, would I be a competitive candidate for the UC appeal system for UCR, UCD, or UCSC?

Does anyone actually know someone that has been accepted through the appeal system and what the circumstances were?
