I’m a transfer student in my last semester and I was happy when I checked that I got accepted due to my TAG for chemistry. When I checked the conditions for my acceptance I saw that I needed to have an B in the chem class I’m taking right now and a B in the calculus class I’m taking and I was not aware of these requirements prior to my acceptance. I’m currently on track to earn a b in chemistry but a c in calculus. My gpa will drop as a result as well and I calculated that it might be around 3.37~ more or less but not less than 3.3. I was wondering if my acceptance will be rescinded. I also want to know if anyone had a similar experience and what their result was. I just contacted Uci through the message center warning about my situation and to ask what I can do. Until their response I hope someone can give me some good news or some bad news for closure. I’m currently studying really hard to ace my last 2 tests to get a B. thanks for taking your time to help me.
Hi this might not be completely accurate to your situation. But I had a friend who tagged and finished calc with a b-. His tag was not accepted because of this, and he just ended up applying normally.
Thanks for replying, did he get in? because I already got accepted because of tag but if your friend got in with a lower gpa than what I’m expecting then I’m in good shape. And in my case my cc gives straight grades no +/- so if I clutch and get an 80, it’s a B and also I’d have a 3.4 gpa.
He got accepted normally with like a 3.5.
hmm, i don’t like my chance then, i guess i have to study every waking minute. Also scared i might get a b in my easy drama appreciation class because he doesn’t give grade updates until after finals. thanks alex. hope someone can add to this.
Yea got a reply, they said just try to get a B and we’ll see. I need to get 2 A’s on my next two tests so wish me luck, i’ll update if I fail to get these A’s and see what admissions will say.
So I’m pretty sure I got in. One month until first day and they haven’t rescinded my acceptance. I also already enrolled in 18 units since July. So if anyone got in and then failed to meet the TAG by a little bit, I think you can say you’re safe.
I got accepted with a C in calculus. But my semester GPA was 3.42 and UC Transfer GPA was 3.64.
What exactly is a tag?
