Do I need to TAG?

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I'm a CCC student hoping to transfer to Berkeley as an American Studies major in Fall 2011. If I manage a 4.0 this semester I could end with a 3.7, but I'm realistically expecting a 3.64. I have a pretty good list of EC's and other achievements, I'm a very good writer so my personal statement should be a 9-10, I overcame serious illness in high school, and I'm doing well in the class I'm taking at Berkeley right now through concurrent enrollment.</p>

<p>My heart is set on Berkeley, and right now I think if I didn't get in I might actually take another year of CC and re-apply, rather than go to another UC. However, I'm applying to one or two others to keep my options open.</p>

<p>My question is: Do I need to TAG to the others? I hadn't thought about this since a counselor at my CC said I have a good shot at UCB and UCLA, but would definitely get in anywhere else. I just checked the TAG website and I guess tomorrow is the deadline, so I'm a little worried I'm missing out.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>DEFFS TAG. doesnt hurt to have your options open, and u can TAG to great schools like UCSD or SB, etc. just in case you decide that giving another year of your life isnt worth berkeley.</p>

<p>Thanks. I just submitted TAG online to all the campuses. Is that all I need to do? Seems like it was too easy.</p>
