Deciding to apply as a CS major?

Im applying to mainly the UC’s but am hoping to get into any UC that isnt UCM or UCR. Reaching for UCSC, UCI, UCSB, UCD even though its a big stretch. UCSD, UCB, and UCLA are way out of my reach.

Around a 3.9 UC weighted capped GPA. Working to improve my SAT to 1400+, still have time to get a high score. I come from a pretty well ranked high school and Im a Hispanic LGBT minority so that may provide an advantage. Involved in the school’s highly qualified music program, yearbook, and theatre. Attend coding workshops as apart of programming club

Im not set on CS as my major so if there are easier STEM majors to get into I would like to research and see if Id be interested. Im pretty open to new things
