I suggest you pick easier to get into universities and then transfer( after you’ve worked really hard and got great EC’s) to the university you want.

Not a good strategy; the transfer acceptance rate at these top-tier colleges is much lower than the freshman acceptance rate.

To the OP, I’d suggest taking a look at the admissions results threads and compare your EC’s to those who got admitted. Also note for Berkeley, you will need to pay full freight as an int’l student, $55K/year plus transportation.
