<p>I was recently accepted as a transfer student to Berkeley from a CC. My stated major was Econ, although I have to apply to the major individually after enrolling. I am getting very close to submitting my SIR, (its due June 1st, but I can't sign up for Summer classes until its in, which puts pressure on me to get it in ASAP) but I still have reservations about whether Berkeley is truly the best choice for me. Among other things, I've heard some very intimidating stories about the competitive atmosphere at Berkeley. Should I be worried about how hard Berkeley's coursework is? For a frame of reference, I had a 4.0 in Community College, but I definitely have no delusions about this being anywhere near equivalent to a similar GPA at Berkeley...</p>
<p>Other college options I am considering are UCLA,UCI, UCSD, and UCD.</p>
