Curious TAG Questions! SBCC/UCSB

Transfer Students
1

<p>I did very bad my first year of Highschool. Got about D's and F's as I was a pretty bad kid back then haha. I'm currently in my Junior year finally starting to take my life and future seriously. I know for a fact theres no way i'm going to be going straight from highschool to a UC and my dream school is to go to UCSB .I'm planning on taking the TAG in SBCC and then transfer over to UCSB as I heard this was the most effective way to get in. Are they going to look at my grades prior to requesting a TAG. I don't really have much information about this. If someone can give me some more info as i'm pretty lost lol. </p>

<p>When you apply as a transfer the UCs will not even look at your HS grades.
For this reason your grades the next spring and following year do not matter at all. </p>

<p>IMO if you are serious then I would recommend trying to take AP units right now in HS to load up on college credit before you graduate. </p>

<p>That sounds good. I was planning on taking a few AP Classes. I was just wondering, because I heard TAGs can get denied? Do they get denied for bad grades in highschool or they didn’t meet the requirements</p>

<p>TAG gets denied for bad grades in college or not fulfilling the right courses.</p>

<p>To restate. For UCs, once you are a CC student, HS grades do not matter at all. (for privates they still look at HS transcript tho) </p>

<p>^ correct. HS has nothing to do with transfer admissions.</p>
