あたし is used in very casual scene. 私 can be used in casual and formal scene.
うち is mainly used in the possessive case.

Depending on the person あたし sounds vulgar a little.
うち is dialect in
Kansai region but recently some young people in Kanto region have used it.
Depending on the person in Kanto うち also sounds vulgar and the elderly people in Kanto hardly use it.
