2015 TAG Agreements are up

<p>Most UCs have now updated their TAG agreements for Fall 2015. Unfortunately UCSB now no longer allows TAG for any major in the school of engineering, which is precisely what I had planned to do. I feel like someone just crushed my hopes and dreams honestly. If I had been ready 1 year sooner I could have TAG'd into my major (chem e) quite easily. Now I have to apply in the general pool where frankly I am not incredibly competitive. </p>

<p>3.78 Major GPA, 3.67 Overall GPA, will have all req'd and recommended base prep courses done. No leadership/club/community involvement, I work full time and am a part time student, age 27 so slightly non-traditional I suppose. A past 2 yr cc record that was an epic failure and then 4 solid years of redeeming myself at my current cc, so some learning/overcoming hardship. I'm considering TAG at UCI so I have some assurance of getting in somewhere.</p>

<p>Irvine increased the GPA to 3.4?! hmmm</p>

<p>Irvine raised if to 3.4 last year. It hasn’t changed since.</p>

<p>Still waiting on the articulation agreements in Assist. No UC has the 14-15 agreement up yet</p>

<p>@bear87 I had heard they were doing that with Engineering as they were forced to bring too many low GPAs in and decline higher GPAs who were more deserving. I kind of have the sense, having looked up here for a couple of months, that there is a subset of TAG candidates that kind of slide along getting just barely over the minimum GPA. In other words, not maybe putting their all into it. Those are the folks to blame for the TAG pull. I actually think they should raise the minimum GPAs on all TAGs because the lower ones are hurting higher achievers across the board. But that’s just me.</p>

<p>l wish they’d just increased the GPA requirement. I did think the minimum GPAs were low.</p>
