Data Science is very hot right now. I wouldn’t feel bad about Berkeley students who “had” to declare data science. Check out how Berkeley math and data science graduates do in terms of careers and income. I’d bet that they’re doing just fine compared to software engineers/CS majors. It’s not going to get them software jobs, but there are plenty of other jobs that require the skills that math and data science majors learn. If you’re OK with math or data science, Berkeley would be an excellent option.
If you’re OK with not getting into CS at Berkeley, then I would choose between Berkeley and Columbia, maybe UIUC.
I agree with @woofdawg123 . I would take Dartmouth off the table.
