Do I have a realistic chance of getting into UCSD, UCLA, or Irvine?

Question

I'm a senior at my high school. I'm in the ELC for UC schools, which means im guaranteed "in" in at least one (i got an early admin letter from Davis today) but I'm still extremely nervous about college applications! I just want to know, truthfully and realistically, if I have the slightest chance of getting in at UCSD, UCLA, or UCI?!

-top 4% of my class (9/500)
-4.27 weighted
-SAT Reasoning: 1660 (i think it was nerves so i took it again--still waiting for my scores /:).
-SAT Subjects: 690-US History 620-Lit
-Girl's Varsity Tennis 2 years
-Vice President of Humanities Club
-Treasurer of Biological Society
-Secretary for Best Buddies
-Italian Club member
-Aids Club member
-150+ hours community service

am i well rounded enough? what do i need to work on? i started my application today and i really hope i get accepted to one of the colleges!

UCI - You're in
UCSD - Really good chance
UCLA - Decent shot

Great gpa and decent extracurricular activities. Your SAT score could use some improvement though. If you get 2000+ on it, UCSD would be almost guaranteed.

I have no doubt you'll get into UCI, depending on your major.  The other two, maybe.

sounds more than realistic enough to me. of course it depends on how competitive your major is also. but i'm sure you'll get in. apply anyways..and hope for the best. good luck.
