The decision will be based on the GPA you have after the update which will be after fall.

If you manage a 3.5 Transfer GPA after fall grades I would say that

Berkeley is still a Reach for you and UCLA w/TAP would be a match/reach depending on major as UCLA accepts by major. You will get the option of an alternate major so if you are set on UCLA you can try an easier alternate major.

UCLA will like to see that you work, you should mention your employment and maybe add it into some portion of the essay and about being first generation, not focus on it but briefly mention somewhere. Maybe even talk about having to work due to being from a first generation low income family- i did that but it was a big focus of my essay and it involved my actual career and major and i was employed full time, i dont know if you plan on pursing a pharmacy career or something different but that might work for you if you can tie everything together.
