Although the middle and less selective UCs (i.e. not UCB, UCLA, UCSD) do not have any assured admission (except UCM if you are ELC), if you apply to several of them, it is hard to see getting rejected from all, particularly if you include UCSC, UCR, and/or UCM.

Be sure to run the net price calculator on every school on your list to get a financial aid estimate. If not affordable on need-based aid, you need to check whether it has large enough merit scholarships that you can apply for.
