I will comment on the UC’s. You need to calculate your 3 UC GPA’s: https://rogerhub.com/gpa-calculator-uc/

Your lack of AP’s and attendance at a competitive HS will be taken into account when reviewing your application.

For the private schools, you should determine your UW GPA since this will be important in gauging your chances. Private schools have their own weighting system not usually published (unlike the UC’s).

You have competitive test scores and good ECs. Only 3 UC’s have Business schools: UCR, UCI and UCB. UCR would be a good option as a possible Safety school but it is not direct admit into the Business program.

UCI’s Business Admin is highly competitive so I would put that school in to the Low Reach category.

If your UC GPA capped weighted is below 4.0, then UC Santa Cruz is a good target school. If your UC GPA capped weighted is above 4.0, then UCD, UCSB and UCI would be possible.

The other UC’s would be Reach schools including USC.

You need to make sure your parents are willing to pay OOS costs to many of the colleges on your list and get a handle on your budget.

I would also suggest since you are a CA resident, that you consider some of the top Cal States for Match/Safety schools especially for Business (Marketing) such as Cal Poly SLO, San Diego State, Cal State Long Beach.

Best of luck.
