chances of transferring to Berkeley with a 3.63

<p>Hello,
I just recently applied to Berkeley as an economic major. My semester just ended and now I currently have a 3.63 gpa at a ccc. My extracurricular is decent. I understand it is a long shot, but my counselor encourage me to apply, so I was just wondering if anyone out there who has been in a similar situation or have known someone who has been in a similar situation that can give me some word of advice. Also I was told to apply to USC for marshall school of business, but with my gpa is it worth the try or is it just a waste of money?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
