Transferring to Berkeley questions

<p>My friend and I are planning on transferring to Berkeley. I did not apply out of high school to Berkeley, but my friend did. My friend is afraid that he is at a disadvantage already being denied from Berkeley the year before (we will both have 90 units after one year). Does Berkeley take past applications into account? </p>

<p>Also, does anyone know the difficulty on how hard it si to transfer into engineering at Berkely? We are both at UCSB, I am a physics major and my friend is a computer engineering major. Anyone know the difficulty and stats for both?</p>

<p>I know that it will not hurt you if you applied before and were denied.</p>

<p>For the second part I have no idea.</p>
