<p>The problem isn’t getting into Berkeley, it’s declaring your major in L&S.</p>
<p>Since L&S CS is now capped, you have to get a 3.0 to be able to declare by the Spring semester. The classes at Berkeley are pretty tough (92.6% for an A in CS61A). CS61B and CS61C are even tougher. Most transfers will have to double-up on two of these in a semester and it can get pretty crazy.</p>
<p>You also have to take one electrical engineering course (EE40 or EE20), which have very competitive curve. Plus you have to take CS70, which is a CS math course that many people struggle in.</p>
<p>I know people who had 3.9/4.0 before transferring to Berkeley and now are struggling to be able to declare CS major.</p>
<p>I would suggest you look very carefully at your options and since the CS field leans much more on work-experience, you might want to reconsider going to Berkeley vs other UC’s.</p>
<p>But you definitely get the world-class education at Berkeley, especially for CS and EE.</p>
