CC to UCI tag

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Im currently wrapping up my first year at CC with a summer course as well as enrolled and ready to go in the fall at my CC. Ill be applying for my TAG to UCI next semester for a hopeful fall 15 enrollment. My current gpa is a 3.3.</p>

<p>I guess I am just a little confused as to how the actual tag agreement works as I want to major in Neurobiology at UCI but that major doesnt participate in TAG.</p>

<p>Also any tips to brighten up my application would be well appreciated. UCI was at one point my second choice (to UCB) but I find myself feeling Irvine more and more, so if anyone else ever debated UCI vs UCB your thoughts would be appreciated as well.</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>You can’t tag for neurobiology since that major is excluded. It might be because an packed major. Do you mean Fall 2014? You can’t tag 2 years in advance.</p>

<p>Yeah that’s why I was confused as to how I would tag UCI if my major isnt taggable.</p>

<p>And yes I did mean fall of 14…it was early in the morning when I first posted.</p>

<p>New 2014 TAG requirement for UCI</p>

<p>has earned a minimum GPA of 3.4 in all UC-transferable coursework by the end of the summer 2013 for fall 2014 admission and will maintain GPA of 3.4 in all UC-transferable coursework for all subsequent terms;</p>

<p>Sorry bro you can’t TAG period with a 3.3.</p>

<p>Are you pretty set on UCI or are you open to UCLA and the ther UC’s?</p>

<p>Im pretty set on UCI, but I still have a lot of time to get my gpa up to a 3.4 (not too far of a stretch from a 3.3 with a full year to go) so im not too concerned with tag reqs, just concerned about how my potential major is untaggable.</p>

<p>Also, if anyone has insight into what life is like on the UCI campus that would be great! Live on/off campus? Thanks!</p>

<p>Well even if your major is untaggable it doesn’t really matter because its required to have the 3.4 by the end of this summer which sucks :/</p>

<p>Idk why they do that all the other UCs are by end of fall or they usually are</p>

<p>You don’t wanna go to UCLA?</p>

<p>If you’re trying to TAG UCI for Fall 2014, you’re applying THIS September, 2 months away! I’m not sure if your current GPA is counting the summer class or not but you’re gonna need a 3.4 GPA by the time you apply for your TAG to be accepted.</p>

<p>Which is kinda what I said</p>

<p>I’m not sure if this is right but at my CC Neuroscience is listed under Psych, UCI does have a major which is Psychology and Social Behavior (632). You could major in that and specifically NeuroScience, I’d talk to admissions about it or a transfer rep.</p>

<p>But I think if you just submit the application with a 3.3 you should get approved even without the TAG, and if not you can always appeal, just make sure you have back up schools.</p>

<p>Be unique and stand out is my advice</p>

<p>major doesn’t matter as much as the prestige of the uni you go to, your GPA and the reputation of your employers/internships.Z</p>

<p>Choose a major that isn’t so impacted.</p>
