Hi
I am a student majoring in CS at William and Mary and I would like to transfer to one of the three above schools. If I have a 4.0 gpa here and a 3.7 HS GPA, what are my chances?
why would you want to pay OOS rates to attend a UC? (not recommended).
Berkeley is a great school for CS, and a lot of people I know go there and agree.
Just got accepted into Berkeley as a Civil and Environmental engineer for fall 2019 
Transferring from a community college in LA. My GPA was 3.92, Engineering club president, did an internship at JPL (NASA) where i did work on a tungsten tipped core drill for the next Mars rover and volunteered at Habitat for humanity.
A lot of my classmates had 4.0s and got rejected by Berkeley.
For CS, prestige means nothing. It’s an industry based entirely on experience. A degree is going to give you just enough to get an entry-level job, nothing more. The higher companies go on salary, the easier it is to hire an experienced professional to do the job. That’s a basic law of economics. Berkeley might make it a little easier to get your first job, but it’s going to be entry level. It’s NOT worth the tuition cost of going out of state. You’re at a good school. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Just recently, I interviewed with several fortune 500 companies and I went to a regional state university. One of those companies was Google. I got these interviews because I have several years of experience. Trust me, you’re not missing anything by not going to Berkeley.
Why do you want to transfer?
@PurpleTitan To go to a top tier grad school, ie Stanford, CMU, and the like.
How would We&M stop you from getting in to a top grad school?
Have you run out of grad-level CS classes at W&M to take?
No, I’m just wondering because W&M isn’t considered as a good school for CS, and where I went to HS, a lot of people look down upon it, especially for STEM.
