<p>@iphone929 I absolutely get what you’re saying. But even if the transfers at UCR and UCB are of similar quality, the overall student body at UCB is still stronger because the students who were admitted as HS seniors are stronger as a whole.</p>
<p>I’ve also heard tons of stories about transfer students who come to Berkeley and can’t handle the work there. It’s safe to say that transfers (not all, but in general) tend to drag down the rest of the school.</p>
