lets see…
berkeley is not for the faint hearted, especially haas.
let me tell u my experience
i was a psych major, then i changed to business…
back then i had 8 friends who had the same dream as me… haas
5 gave up… and transfered to other UCs
2 applied as a different major just to get into UCB
and a really good friend of mine persisted but got rejected and decided to attend USC
so u have to think if u wanna risk ur admission to UCB.

haas accepted around 90+ this year again. they accept around the same number of applicants every year regardless of how many apply. they go by number of admissions rather than ratio to applicants.

the ones that got in from my CC… including me would not be considered the top tier of applicants when u compare us in terms of stats, i would say something about the ones that got in caught the eye of the admissions officer. thats probably all i can input about. if there is 1 reason i got in it was the boldness i put in my essay. my stats are definitely not your 4.0, business class president, AGS PTK president, student council president or any of that sort. sure those stand out but find your own path and make it shine.
