<p>hamburgler2, you should understand that getting a 4.0 gpa at berkeley engineering is significantly harder than doing the same at ucla. if you want the less difficult road to a 4.0, go to ucla.</p>
<p>but since you don’t care about competitiveness/grade deflation, you should go to cal because it has a better reputation as an engineering school than ucla.</p>
