why would it be hard to transfer to berkeley? I thought 95% of slots are open to community college students

I'm speculating, In your particular case it might be because you need to actually apply to the school of Haas. Just because you go 2 years cc and transfer may mean you'll get into Berk, but doesn't mean you'll be accepted actually into Haas. That's why I said those who actually go 2 years at Berkeley applying for Haas will have a better resume i'm assuming. They'll have the opportunity to actually get involved in business programs offered on campus.</p>
