I go to UC Santa Barbara but I’m thinking of transferring to UC Berkeley and I was wondering how difficult it would be to get in, mostly GPA wise. Also, I read online that coming from a UC I could only transfer to Berkeley for my junior year, but due to personal reasons I would only be able to move out there for my senior year. What are my options? Is it possible to transfer there only for senior year? I heard that they do let people in for years other than junior year but that it is very rare. Is it possible to apply when I’m a junior at UCSB but be applying to come into Berkeley as a junior for a repeating year or something? Any info on the matter would be greatly appreciated!
Using this link you can see the GPA’s by major for each UC:

Call UCB admissions to see if they can answer your questions. Better to go to the source.
You can only transfer as a junior.
