um to be honest with you i dont know enough about you. What is your weighted gpa that might help a little bit. What about sats and ec's satII's? Being a CA resident is also a plus.

If you're NOT a California resident, you need at least a 3.4 to be considered for the UC's.

However, if you are a California resident, like Caliplaya said, we need more information: your SAT scores, your SAT II's, etc. Also, is your 3.3 GPA based on UC approved courses or it your school's own cummulative GPA?
