<p>My theory is, if it was easy to get a good grades at Berkeley then it wouldn’t deserve the reputation it has. If straight A’s are what you want, you’ll probably have an easier time at a community college.</p>
<p>I would say, take the 3.5, 3.0, or 2.5 like a real man (or woman.) It’s a real treat to attend Berkeley in the first place; don’t let academic rigor scare you.</p>
