What is the point of getting in to Berkeley if you don't get the course you want. Companies don't care which college you are from anymore. berkeley over enrolls kids as undeclared major and 75% of them struggle to get the major they want once they are there. They end up graduationg with Math or statistics or data science instead of Computer Science degree as comp sci is very very hard to get in at Berkeley. Kids from other UC campuses , San Diego, UCLA, Davis and Irvine end up doing what they wanted to learn and end up with good jobs overall. Research should be pulled from LinkedIn and not from high schools.
