Try checking out the UCSD summer extension program.
USCD works on a point system and they give a lot of points if you do this program. Its just a couple months during summer and super fun.
You might want to try to get a leadership position in a club or organization whether it be secretary or president.
Since you’re minority, first gen you have a pretty good chance.

Just from these stats, I would say you have a relatively good chance at UCI and UCDavis but UCSD might be a slight stretch with your SAT scores and weak honors and ap courses. (Although that depends on whether your high school even offers many honors/ap courses) Consider taking it again to get above 1800.
