Transfer to Berkeley or come in as a freshman?!?

I was in a similar position as you two years ago. I originally thought I was going to be a science major at the time of application, but had a change of mind and currently am considering accounting for myself. Since you want to go into accounting, what the advisor told you was right because at least if you applied as a transfer you’d know if you got into haas or not, and if you didn’t you could consider other schools that offer accounting programs.
But, to be admitted to Berkeley as a freshman is great, and something that I think you should not pass it up. If you really do not feel secured with your future going to Berkeley then community college sounds like a good alternative.
I am in my last of CC and you definitely get the attention you need from instructors, its easier, and you save lots of money. I’m not going to lie, it was not the most fun socially, but it is a sacrifice you make for your future.
As of today, I got into UCLA for Business Econ and Berkeley for Econ, I wish I applied to haas, but did not cause I was a class short. I am also waiting for USC right now which I applied for as Business.
