From SUSA: Between Stat 20 and C8
Stat 20 goes into just very general applications of stats and doesn't teach much theory; mainly just a computational class like high school math (in fact it basically covers AP Statistics but the material is just a bit harder). You'll also get to see how you can utilize R (no strictly "how" R/programming works) with data sets provided by the professor. In addition, the class is mainly just a requirement so that you experience on hand a very basic understanding of what happens in stats (it became a requirement very recently in Fall 2018). So what you learn in this class is very basic and won't be much help in understanding the mathematical basis of things in the upper division classes you have to take.
You can also consider Data 8, though it doesn't really match up with the material you learn specifically in the statistics major. Personally, if you do well in Stat 20 or Data 8, you can learn the material in the other easily and you shouldn't consider taking both. If you are thinking about doing data science, I would suggest you take Data 8 so that you have more options (By taking Data 8, you might be interested in other data science courses like Data 100, Data C102, Stat C140). The drawback to taking Data 8 instead of Stat 20 is just that there are some concepts in Stat 135 which you wouldn't be introduced to in terms of the computation (but the concepts are easily buildable without Stat 20).

An introduction to probability, emphasizing the combined use of mathematics and programming to solve problems. Random variables, discrete and continuous families of distributions. Bounds and approximations. Dependence, conditioning, Bayes methods. Convergence, Markov chains. Least squares prediction. Random permutations, symmetry, order statistics. Use of numerical computation, graphics, simulation, and computer algebra.
Objectives & Outcomes
Course Objectives: The emphasis on simulation and the bootstrap in Data 8 gives students a concrete sense of randomness and sampling variability. Stat 140 will capitalize on this, abstraction and computation complementing each other throughout.
The syllabus has been designed to maintain a mathematical level at least equal to that in Stat 134. So Stat 140 will start faster than Stat 134 (due to the Data 8 prerequisite), avoid approximations that are unnecessary when SciPy is at hand, and replace some of the routine calculus by symbolic math done in SymPy. This will create time for a unit on the convergence and reversibility of Markov Chains as well as added focus on conditioning and Bayes methods.
With about a thousand students a year taking Foundations of Data Science (Stat/CS/Info C8, a.k.a. Data 8), there is considerable demand for follow-on courses that build on the skills acquired in that class. Stat 140 is a probability course for Data 8 graduates who have also had a year of calculus and wish to go deeper into data science.
Student Learning Outcomes: Understand the difference between math and simulation, and appreciate the power of both
Use a variety of approaches to problem solving
Work with probability concepts algebraically, numerically, and graphically

The drawback to taking Data 8 instead of Stat 20 is just that there are some concepts in Stat 135 which you wouldn't be introduced to in terms of the computation (but the concepts are easily buildable without Stat 20).
It is also highly recommended that you do not take Stat 135 concurrently or before your probability course due to Stat 135 assuming a probability background. Stat 135 is included in these declaring guidelines mainly because it gives you have a chance to declare if you don't get a B- in Stat 134/C140.

An introduction to computational thinking and quantitative reasoning, preparing students for further coursework, especially Foundations of Data Science (CS/Info/Stat C8). Emphasizes the use of computation to gain insight about quantitative problems with real data. Expressions, data types, collections, and tables in Python. Programming practices, abstraction, and iteration. Visualizing univariate and bivariate data with bar charts, histograms, plots, and maps. Introduction to statistical concepts including averages and distributions, predicting one variable from another, association and causality, probability and probabilistic simulation. Relationship between numerical functions and graphs. Sampling and introduction to inference.
Objectives & Outcomes
Course Objectives: C6 also includes quantitative reasoning concepts that aren’t covered in Data 8. These include certain topics in: principles of data visualization; simulation of random processes; and understanding numerical functions through their graphs. This will help prepare students for computational and quantitative courses other than Data 8.
C6 takes advantage of the complementarity of computing and quantitative reasoning to enliven abstract ideas and build students’ confidence in their ability to solve real problems with quantitative tools. Students learn computer science concepts and immediately apply them to plot functions, visualize data, and simulate random events.
Foundations of Data Science (CS/Info/Stat C8, a.k.a. Data 8) is an increasingly popular class for entering students at Berkeley. Data 8 builds students’ computing skills in the first month of the semester, and students rely on these skills as the course progresses. For some students, particularly those with little prior exposure to computing, developing these skills benefits from further time and practice. C6 is a rapid introduction to Python programming, visualization, and data analysis, which will prepare students for success in Data 8.
Student Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to perform basic computations in Python, including working with tabular data.
Students will be able to understand basic probabilistic simulations.
Students will be able to understand the syntactic structure of Python code.
Students will be able to use good practices in Python programming.
Students will be able to use visualizations to understand univariate data and to identify associations or causal relationships in bivariate data.

You can see the core courses for the statistics major highlighted.
These are:
To declare, among these classes, you just need a B- in Stat 134 or Stat C140. If you don't make that B-, you still have a chance by getting a B- in Stat 135.
If you're deciding between Stat 133 OR Stat/Data/Compsci C100 and Stat 33B, consider that Stat 33B + Data 100 option requires more prereqs just because of Data 100 . To iterate more, on choosing between these two, Data 100 requires 61A/88, linear algebra, and Data 8 [which is not really needed since you took Stat 20]. But, It does teach you a lot more skills since you get you learn Python and use the matplotlib, pandas, scikitlearn, etc. packages. If you're looking to go into industry, this option is something to really consider since there is a fair amount of places that want you to know Python to do things. Theory knowledge wise, you might get the shortend and not learn much from Data 100 except how to use Python for data science if you have enough statistics background. As for comparison between 33B and 133, there's not much to say. If you take 33B, then you will already be having the programming experience from 61A/88 and other concepts covered in 133 should come naturally to you. If you decide to go the 133 route, you won't learn Python at all and will have limited programming experience (it doesn't teach much "CS" concepts). If you're minoring/doubling in data science, it's unit efficient to take the Data 100 + Stat 33B option.
Between Stat 134 and C140, you can view the course websites https://www.stat134.org/ and http://prob140.org/about/

From SUSA: Between Stat 20 and C8
Stat 20 goes into just very general applications of stats and doesn't teach much theory; mainly just a computational class like high school math (in fact it basically covers AP Statistics but the material is just a bit harder). You'll also get to see how you can utilize R (no strictly "how" R/programming works) with data sets provided by the professor. In addition, the class is mainly just a requirement so that experience on hand a very basic understanding of what happens in stats (it became a requirement very recently in Fall 2018). So what you learn in this class is very basic and won't be much help in understanding the mathematical basis of things in the upper division classes you have to take.
You can also consider Data 8, though it doesn't really match up with the material you learn specifically in the statistics major. Personally, if you do well in Stat 20 or Data 8, you can learn the material in the other easily and you shouldn't consider taking both. If you are thinking about doing data science, I would suggest you take Data 8 so that you have more options (By taking Data 8, you might be interested in other data science courses like Data 100, Data C102, Stat C140). The drawback to taking Data 8 instead of Stat 20 is just that there are some concepts in Stat 135 which you wouldn't be introduced to in terms of the computation (but the concepts are easily buildable without Stat 20).
