Most UCs prefer high GPA over high SAT scores. The exception is UCSB, which is lenient towards students with a 2200+ SAT score. As a result, UCSB is much less selective than UC Davis and UC Irvine. Unless if you want to go to UCSB, you should probably avoid applying to the UCs.

UC Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC Davis, and UC Irvine will probably reject you, but you have a good chance at UCSB.
