would it be easier to transfer to stanford from berkeley since they are so close and have great respect for each other's academics? i want to ulimately end up at stanford and i'm trying to figure out the route i need to take to get there. i've heard the two schools, although rivals, have high respect for one another and there are many cross admits between the two schools.
Cross admits doesn't entail the same thing that the transfer from community colleges to UCs does...almost half of stanford kids come from CA...i'm sure 95% of those applied and got accepted to cal as well.
the transfer rate into stanford is absolutely terrifying, for lack of a better word...applying for freshman admission is the only way in, basically (so, that's your best 'route' to stanford)
