the process of burning out sucks to go through and it sucks to watch - and you can tank your GPA which will limit your options post HS. Try to map a sustainable path to your desired destination. You, and everyone around you will be better for it. You really need to schedule in some down time. If you must take classes outside of HS - make them for personal interest, and don’t worry about their transferabilty.
If UCLA is where you want to go, you’ll need a 4.2 GPA and 1400ish SAT to be competitive and a little luck to get in.

Take AP classes you know you can ace and clock lots of hours studying for the SAT.

Good luck
