EEdegree, well the fact is UCB specifically on their transfer webpage emphasis high GPA especially targeting GPA on the intended declared major. And, that’s the reason why on the personal statement for transfer students, they want to know why he/she picks the major and the reasons behind it.
I recently chance a guy who also plans to transfer to UCB. He is even already studying at UCI, strong in CS also. His overall GPA only 3.65, but his major GPA is a stunning 3.95. That is something I call it strong. You know UCs do bell curve on most classes, it is extremely difficult to get straight As. This is not highschool .That I can agree UCB will consider a lower overall GPA,but must be very strong on major GPA.
