Advice
Try to have the highest GPA you can, 3.9+. Computer Science at UC Berkeley is very very competitive!
Write a great personal statement, plan it months in advance with proofreads by different people.
Have some EC’s. I wish I had gotten internships, had leadership positions, and had been a member of at least 2 clubs at school.
