Seeking guidance for computer science

Applying to College
1

Kindly guide me on pros and cons about UC to choose

  1. I have been admitted to UC Berkeley Letters and Science (undeclared major can declare Major as computer science if I can maintain a good gpa in core computer courses)
  2. UC San Diego Revelle (computer science)
  3. UC Davis (computer science) with regents scholarship

Pros for each:

UC San Diego → You are already in CS, and it is an excellent program

UC Berkeley → The best CS program, and gets the most recruiting attention by a long shot

UC Davis → Really good CS program and will be the cheapest for you by the looks of it.

UCB L&S CS requires a 3.3 GPA in CS 61A, 61B, 70. You can see the grade distributions at https://www.berkeleytime.com/grades/?course1=2321-all-all&course2=2323-all-all&course3=2327-all-all . About half of CS 61A and 70 students earn B+ or higher grades, while the percentage earning B+ or higher grades is somewhat higher in CS 61B.

But if you want to attend UCB for L&S CS, be sure to consider your backup major plans if you do not get into the L&S CS major. If you want to be certain of being in the CS major, choose one of the schools where you have direct or assured admission to the major.
