Unfortunately, for most of the schools on your list, academics will matter. If you’re looking for schools where only the audition matters you might look at programs at performing arts-only schools or programs in colleges where academic bars are lower. Most of the admissions you have listed there are for strongly academic schools with either BA programs or academic-aware BFAs. Calarts is the only school on your list where I would be sure the audition is all that matters and they are a really top-flight BFA program so a reach for anyone.

TBH when you ask “what else should I do?” the answer that comes to mind is - Add some less competitive 4 year programs to your list. You want to be in Southern Cal, so you might add Cal State Long Beach, Northridge, San Diego and Fullerton. They still may not be “matches” and they aren’t safeties but you have a far better chance of getting in there than any of the UCs.
