All UC’s will look at the UW UC GPA, Capped weighted UC GPA and Fully weighted UC GPA. The majority of UC statistics is based on the capped weighted UC GPA so that is the GPA I use when chancing any applicant for comparison.

The capped weighted UC GPA gives up to 8 semesters of extra honors points for AP/IB classes taken 10-11th grades for OOS applicants. The fully weighted UC GPA has no cap so you can get more than 8 extra honors points in the calculation. Only UCB and UCLA list their fully weighted GPA on their websites for Freshman.

Below is statistical info for the UC’s based on capped weighted GPA and not major specific:
Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19:

UCB: 12.6%
UCLA: 11.7%
UCSD: 38.7%
UCSB: 53.6%
UCD: 56.5%
UCI: 52.1%

2018 UC capped weighted GPA averages:
UCB: 4.23
UCLA: 4.23
UCSD: 4.16
UCSB: 4.13
UCI: 4.13

25th - 75th percentiles for ACT:
UCB: 30-35
UCLA: 31-35
UCSD: 28-34
UCSB: 28-34
UCD: 26-33
UCI: 26-33

UC’s tend to be GPA focused but being OOS and full pay, I would put your chances higher than 57%. Not sure why you are spending money to apply if you are already accepted into your top school? Best of luck and the California schools always like full pay OOS students.
