2012 TAG Thread

<p>Yup ur welcome, it’s always nice to have people in the same boat, you know :D</p>

<p>yea man sometimes the stars have to align to successfully TAG</p>

<p>I took a high school business class in my senior year and for whatever reason I received 5.5 semester units of college credit for it. That’s why when I went to college for my 1st time, a year and a half later, they told me I had already taken classes there when I hadn’t. </p>

<p>It is in my unofficial transcript. But I can’t add it into ‘My Coursework’ because it was a high school class, i.e. there’s no school information to add for it. I can’t add it in ‘My Exams’ either. What do I do?</p>

<p>Any advantage to submitting TAG earlier than 9/30?</p>

<p>Nah. As far as I know, you’re good if you meet the requirements and turn in the application, and vice versa.</p>

<p>The only reason I’m even doing it now is because I have nothing else to do.</p>

<p>Since bio is impacted at UCSD is it worth using a TAG there or should I use it on another school where bio isn’t impacted? I will have completed IGETC, the biology sequence at my cc, and have a 3.6 GPA.</p>

<p>

Tough one… Im in the same position</p>

<p>did you guys even bother filling out the optional demographic survey in the application btw?</p>

<p>^ no, I save time to train my Pokemons rather than doing that</p>

<p>you would get in but you might not get into the major at UCSD… Better to save it for a school you know will accept your tag into the major like Davis or Santa Barbara.</p>

<p>Please help, need some clarity.</p>

<p>Next fall i plan on transferring to a UC campus from a ccc so i’ll be applying this coming November. My accumulative GPA is 3.72 and I think my transferable GPA might be slightly higher. My main goal is to get into UCLA as a physiology or molecular genetics major. With the slight help from the TAP program I hope I get in. However, as a safety net i’ll be applying to several UC’s and want to do a TAG with one of them. </p>

<p>My main choices for a TAG are UCSB, UCSC, or UCD… but when I look at the TAG Matrix I start to wonder what’s the point… </p>

<p>UCSB:
Is the major guaranteed as part of TAG – “No for majors in the College of Letters and Science” – (I’m a bio related major so this means that the “guaranteed” wont be a “guaranteed”)</p>

<p>UCSC:
Is the major guaranteed as part of TAG – “Yes for majors in the Jack Baskin School of Engineering. No for all other major” (So basically same story as UCSB)</p>

<p>UCD:
This school doesn’t have too much fine print in the TAG Matrix, but to be honest this is not my first school of choice… and I dont want to send mix messages to other schools ie: UCLA or UCSB… but then again the whole cliche of “Better safe than sorry comes into mind”… Also, it says that my CCC needs to review it by the 15th. Who would I have to contact to get that taken care of? Counselors are basically booked until spring 2014… :/</p>

<p>Any thoughts? I’d appreciate it! Thanks</p>

<p>Did they change TAG? Can you only TAG with one UC this year?</p>

<p>^ lol yes.</p>

<p>Oh ■■■. So much for the advantageous of going to a CC first -__-.</p>

<p>“TAG is a privilege, not an entitlement,” quoted someone on this board :slight_smile:
I still believe it’s fair, and we still have a good chance of getting accepted into a UC of our choice, regardless of the change.</p>

<p>what do you need to be guaranteed to 5 UC’s for when you only can SIR to one? thats selfish.</p>

<p>simplify your schools down to 4, TAG to 1, apply to 3 through the fee waiver if you qualify.</p>

<p>Hey guys! Future transfer here.
How long did it take you guys in Community College to be transfer ready?</p>

<p>Btw how do you complete the UC TAG application?
I made an account but I don’t think I fully completed it because i wasn’t sure of the classes I’m going to take or the number of units i’m going to complete.</p>

<p>

How is it selfish if you’ve worked hard and earned the guaranteed admissions? Why should the fact that we have the ability to SIR to only one UC limit us to receiving just one guaranteed admission? Would it not be rational to try to get as many guaranteed admissions as you can so you have backups to choose from if you don’t get accepted to your first choice?</p>

<p>

Eh, I guess so, but, TAG does stand for Transfer Admission Guarantee. That is, if received, then you are guaranteed admission. Isn’t “guaranteed” the same as “entitled”?</p>

<p>not through guaranteed admissions its not.</p>

<p>you’re flipping definitions to accommodate your own motives.</p>

<p>are you really trying to say entitlement and guaranteed are interchangeable definitions?</p>
