Should I give up on Berkeley?

I intended on transferring to Berkeley as an Economics Major, but don’t feel that’s possible anymore.

I got in A in Macro, but got a B in Micro (Missed an A by One Point). I’m feeling that the B is really going to kill me. I’m taking Calc this fall, taking two back to back math classes this summer to prepare for it.

My GPA is a measly 3.7, been working a minimum wage job customer service job for about a year now, and have a small amount of volunteering experience under my belt.

White, middle class, parents both went to college, grandfather did graduate from Berkeley.

Ever since visiting Berkeley earlier this year I knew it’s where I wanted to go to school. But lately I feel I might need to strongly consider a back up.

Thoughts?
