I agree with @NCalRent that your GPA is competitive but you should consider retaking your SAT and aim for a 1400+ for the best chances. Even the Mid-tier UC’s are not a guarantee with your test scores but UC’s will also evaluate you based on your personal insight essays and EC’s.

Freshman admit rates for UC GPA of 3.80-4.19 (capped weighted) not major specific;

UCB: 12.6%
UCLA: 11.7%
UCSD: 38.7%
UCSB: 53.6%
UCD: 56.5%
UCI: 52.1%
UCSC: 75.7%
UCR: 90.1%
UCM: 96.1%

25th - 75th percentiles for SAT:

UCB: 1360-1540

UCLA: 1340-1540
UCSD: 1300-1520
UCSB: 1270-1500
UCD: 1220-1480
UCI: 1230-1490
UCSC: 1210-1450
UCR: 1130-1380
UCM: 1020-1280

Apply widely and I only see UCR as a Safety school. SDSU would probably be a Safety while SLO could be a High Match/Low Reach school with your SAT.
