What are my chances?

I’m going to assume your stated GPA is your UC GPA when I make this assessment.
Columbia- Reach
Uchi- Reach
UCB- somewhat of a reach given your test scores/ GPA
UCLA- Similar to UCB but better chance
UCSD- Much more of a match
UCD- Match

I’m not too familiar with the others on your list as far as where you’d fit into them. Overall I think for most of the California schools you have a shot it’ll be your SAT/ACT that might keep you out of UCLA and UCB. All that being said, a good personal statement can always elevate you application so be sure to put some time into those if you really have your eyes set on UCB/UCLA and don’t want to retake tests. As far as UCSD and UCD are concerned I think you fit well into their profile and have good chance of being admitted. However, Columbia and Chicago might be a bit of a reach to be blunt, still worth applying though because you never know what could happen. Good luck applying and feel free to chance me back if you’d like!
