Can you get into a uc school with 3.5 GPA average from monta vista?

From the UCSC website:
Establish an Acceptable Grade Point Average (GPA)
California residents need a minimum GPA of 3.00. Nonresidents
of California need a minimum GPA of 3.40. The GPA is only
calculated on courses meeting the "a-g" requirements in the 10 th ,
the 11 th , and, if completed, the 12 th grade. See the UC
Eligibility Index chart on this page for further
information.
Although this answer is true, truth is getting into a UC
school is extremely competitive these days. It's true 3.5 tends to
be a little low for UC entrance but I think you will have no
problem getting into UC Merced or UC Riverside. Then again I don't
know what you got on your SAT, what your extracurriculars are or
how many AP/honors classes you've taken so basing your entrance on
GPA alone is not gonna cut it. If you have strong extracurriculars,
lots of AP/honors classes or a high SAT score then you could have a
good chance of getting into UC Santa Cruz and perhaps UC Santa
Barbara, UC Davis, and UC Irvine. However, if you are just basing
this question off your GPA, I would say UC Merced and UC Riverside
would be your choices. Good luck!
