Davis/Hastings top 5% to?
After first semester grades I wound up inside the top 5% cutoffs from past years. No scholarship at current school. What are my options if I get around the same grades next semester? I imagine HYS is out of the picture unless I move up to 1-2%. Is it worth it to try for CCN (maybe chicago ed?) if I want to get back to CA after graduation or is Berkeley the only transfer that would be worthwhile in this situation?

Re: Davis/Hastings top 5% to?
Berkeley would definitely make the most sense in your situation, especially since they offer need based aid to transfers. Like you said, if you can move up to top 1-2% you have a shot at Stanford. I think you have a great shot at Berkeley if you can maintain those grades, or even if you drop a little bit. CA employers who interview at Berkeley will certainly have a much better idea of what your 1L grades mean than employers would at CCN. In your shoes I would definitely transfer to Berkeley (unless you can get S).
