My son is a freshman at Stanford and he told me that there are quite a few kids with lower stats(relative to most Stanford applicants) but they usually have one or more hooks. If your essays can tie in to your passion they may take a chance on you so give it a shot. I still feel like you need more match schools on your list. Berkeley and UCLA are reach schools that are stats focused. How about some mid level UC’s like Santa Barbara, Irvine, Davis. Do you have some other match schools that you would love to attend if you are not accepted into your top choices?
