<li>Do these stats give me a serious chance for transferring to UC Berkeley?</li>
<li>Is it advisable to retake the SAT or take the ACT for a higher score?</li>
<li>Is UCB even worth the effort for my major?</li>
</ol>
<p>They will not look at your high school GPA and SAT score if you apply as a junior transfer (you can’t even post it in your application!)
What do you want to major in at Berkeley? Will you have all of Berkeley’s major pre- reqs completed?
I don’t know if it’s worth it to go through the transfer process for you. Are you unhappy at Davis? If yes, I suggest you go for it. You have nothing to lose by applying to Berkeley.</p>
<p>I want to major in political science and economics. I can have both prereqs completed at Davis but transferring and graduation with a double major seems very difficult if not impossible. I am happy at Davis and one of the most significant benefits that I’m giving up by transferring is priority registration for four years. Going to Berkeley as a junior transfer will definitely make my life tougher but I feel like I’m missing out on the advantages that a prestigious school can provide for me.</p>
