Background
LSAT: 154
LSGPA: 3.66 (3 CALI's)
Rank: Top 4%
Scholarship @ USF: 25k (But could increase after negotiating with the school)
Career Interests: Initially interested in immigration/public interest (currently working at a public interest firm), but now that the door for BigLaw is open (as well as judicial clerkships), Berkeley seems just too good to pass up, ESPECIALLY considering where I started.
Long term goals - either own my own practice or a judgeship.
The choice to transfer up to Boalt seems obvious, but I would appreciate some honest feedback as to whether this is this best move for me.

If you got in, go. The door to biglaw is not open from USF. Also, I know from personal experience that they do not negotiate scholarships. They negotiated with NONE of the people I know who transferred out in my class (and at least some of those people had better rankings than you).

Re: USF --> Boalt?
Thank you for the input! I've heard the chances for negotiating anything are slim to none, but it wouldn't hurt to try. At any rate, I AM in, and am edging towards accepting.
As a long time lurker on this forum, I can't say how much TLS has helped me throughout my 1L year and the collective wisdom here is absolute gold.

Re: USF --> Boalt?
I don't recall when I went under review, but it was likely around that time as well. I received the acceptance email on the 20th. Second round of acceptances is likely after 7/11/14 (after first round of acceptance/withdrawals are decided). Best of luck to you!
