@RML‌ If my experiences at UCI (another AAU UC) can be generalized to Berkeley, many professors are somewhat reluctant to use undergrads in any high capacity, non “beaker-monkey” position. This was a major concern of my two bosses, both STEM professors at UCI, before they sent their daughter to UC Berkeley. Fwiw, they encouraged her to consider smaller STEM schools or top level universities which are nowhere near as prestigious on the graduate level as UCB because of the increased faculty student interaction.
