look my first question is this:
did u apply to UCSD, UCLA? if you did and got rejected, UCB must have seen something on ur app that persauded them we should give this kid a try. But realize, the fact you didnt get into SD/LA would mean academically/test wise you werent strong enough to make it in there and it may mean you will struggle at Berkeley. It will be better for you to go to a tier 2 or tier 3 school, be able to do well on the workload and enjoy yourself instead of studying 24/7 and trying to keep up.

If you did not apply to SD or LA then my apologies. However realize that UCB will be very competitive, and even cut throat in some classes but the bright minds and prestige Berkeley has are intangibles that the other two univresities lack.
