<p>Go where you think is best for you! I had two sons apply to UCSB and Berkeley, although neither got into Berkeley. One of them would have gone to UCSB anyhow, because he prefers the school and atmosphere, and plans to go to graduate school, so doesn’t consider the incremental prestige important. The other would have gone directly to Berkeley. I don’t know if having a BS in Computer science or a degree from L&S at Berkeley would make a difference – is that a BS as well, or a BA? I have no idea, Good luck wherever you go!</p>
<p>–
on the CC classes, you should really call Berkeley, I think. There were some people posting on here who got tangled up with their community college classes, and I don’t remember precisely what the issue was.</p>
