@prezbucky I thought about that too, but realized that Berkeley will be harder for me to reach a 3.7 GPA as the GE’s are notably difficult. Also, if I don’t get that GPA that means I have slimmer chances of transferring into USC and may even be rejected by Haas, since the competition is high. I’m thinking long term, because I don’t want to be stuck in Berkeley with a major that doesn’t pertain to my career if things don’t go as planned - hypothetically speaking. If I went to CC, a 3.7 is feasible; I am confident that I could make a 3.7 or even higher GPA at CC (near my local area).
