That is a good plan. Get the Sat score up a little more if you can during this year. You are below the averages, but people tend to get in with similar stats. Make sure you have other stuff going on in your life besides school that you can talk about in your essays if you expect to get a break.

On the condition that you get into UCSC, getting high grades is always a good idea. The computer science major at CAL is a little competitive so I hear and it is a little hard to get in no matter where you come from and what gpa you have. It is good to aim high, but just understand engineering majors at Cal are hard to get into and nothing is a sure thing.
