Chances at UC?

hi guys! im currently a sophomore in hs and my dream school is Berkeley or just any top tier UC in general, can someone look at my stats and tell me what I need to improve upon?

BTW, my intended major is Sociology.

  • 3.74 UW, 4.5 W (freshmen year GPA, I have mostly all A's sophomore year, so it'll change)
  • 6 APS and 6 Honors 
  • Nonprofit founder (measurable impact, collected 300+ books, lots of partnerships, etc)
  • Afterschool teacher last summer + volunteer w/ special needs kids (22 hrs) + youth reporter (wrote and published an article for the website)
  • 5 awards (4 from DECA and 1 business one) + ICDC Qualified 
  • Key Club Treasurer
  • Mock trial president
  • Student Ambassadors Manager
  • DECA Director 
  • Was a civic engagement intern at a nonprofit 
  • 9th grade activities (discontinued) -->
    • Outreach officer for Mental Health Club 
    • Secretary for Innovation Club 

Any advice would be super helpful!!
