It’s the time of the year where many of us transfer students are going to apply for TAG application. Please post your stats, an example shown below, and feel free to post any questions or concerns as well.
My Stats:
Major: Psychology And Social Behavior
Major Pre-Req: Not Planning On Completing (Assist.org + UCI Website Indicates I do Not Need To Complete Major Courses To Transfer Or TAG)
UC Transferable GPA: 3.85
Tag: Yes
I have a question of concern. Please if any previous transferred students to UCI can tell me whether or not I need to complete major courses or pre-requisites for the Psychology and Social Behavior Major (In Order To TAG)?
Assist.org and UCI Websites indicates I do not need to, but I’m searching through this forum and see conflicting answers.
Whether you have an answer for me or not, please feel free to post your stats. I do not believe anyone has started a thread for the 2018 fall transfer yet.
I’m planning to TAG to UCI for Informatics but am unsure if it’ll be accepted because my school doesn’t offer all of the classes that are required. However, I am taking online classes at a different college that offers them BUT not all of them are even offered online and I’m not a full time student there so I don’t get priority registration which makes it very hard to guarantee I’ll even get my required classes.
Anyways, here are my stats:
Major: Informatics
Major Pre-Req: (see above) at most I’m missing one class & plan to include an explanation on my TAG app
UC Transferable GPA: 3.57
TAG: Hopefully.
Major: Literary Journalism
Major Pre-reqs: Done, IGETC done by spring
UC GPA: 3.93
TAG: Not eligible for UCI because math needs to be completed by summer 2017. I’ll be doing it for Davis though.
To TAG I don’t think you need to have your major pre-reqs completed, only math and English are required by summer. You’ll need to have major pre-reqs completed by the end of spring 2018, though, if it says it’s required on Assist.org.
Major: Psychology and Social Behavior
Major Pre Req: Planning on completing by Spring 2018
UC GPA: 3.4
TAG: Yes
Currently split on deciding to go into the field of Psychology or Communication Studies, but since UCI doesn’t offer Comm, I have decided to TAG on PSB.
I’m an Econ major and I plan on applying through tag but I am required to take calc 1 and 2 by the end of spring. Could I still get in if I just finish calc 1 and not calc 2? Has anyone got in through tag without finishing major prerequisites?
Hi, everyone! Best of luck to all of us this upcoming application season.
Can anyone please chance me?

In order to qualify for the TAG you need to finish the major requirements by the end of spring semester before transfer. The courses you don’t need to finish right away are the courses under “Additional Approved Courses for the Major” on assist. I was going to TAG to UCI under biology, but since I couldn’t finish all the required courses, I had to TAG under a different major.
Major: Biomedical Engineering: Pre-Med
Major Pre-Req: Complete by Summer 2018*
UC Transferable GPA: 3.45
Tag: Yes
*My MATLAB (BME 60B equivalent) course is brand new at my school and will most likely not be transferable, but it’s the only choice I have because most schools don’t offer it.
I thought all major prep needs to be completed in order to TAG. I’m worried I cannot get into UCI with BME:PM or BME without TAG
Yes you need all of the required major prep to be approved for a TAG unless your school doesn’t offer it. @matchamilktea I did the same… I didn’t meet all of the requirements for computer science so I tagged for Informatics instead because they don’t have as high as a math requirement. lol
Hey guys, I heard that UCI doesn’t notify you about your tag decision in November? You just have to wait until April to find out if you got in. Is that still true?
Anyways, my stats:
Major: Computer Science
Major pre-reqs: Done after this semester
GPA: 3.6
TAG: yes
First of all best of luck to everyone applying.
Secondly, here’s a link to see the stats of transfer by major for all UC’s. https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/infocenter/transfers-major
You can select the UC school in the drop down menu and search by major and you’ll see all the GPA stats. Keep in mind, these are averages, if you’re above or below a little don’t worry.
And lastly, here is my information
Major: Mechanical Engineering (Secondary: Physics)
Major Pre-Req: Done by Spring 2018
UC Transferable GPA: 3.52
Tag: Yes, UCI
EC: NKLA volunteer, AGS Honors Society Secretary, Aerospace Club member, Transfer Honors program, Will have a published Physics lab manual(Electicity&Magnetism) by the end of Fall 2017 semester, NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars Program, Math/Physics/Chem tutor. Also part of Dean’s Honor Roll
I’d appreciate a chance if anyone can! Thanks!
I just submitted my tag and I will not be completing the courses listed on assist.org
My counselor said this major “psychology and social behavior” does not require any pre-req as a transfer student to tag into.
I hope that’s true.

I’m relying mostly on my ECs and my personal statement. My GPA is a result of working during the semester and a lack of motivation at times. I also have some APs from high school, probably won’t matter too much at this point.
Hey guys! I got an email today notifying me that my UCI TAG was submitted & that I just have to submit the UC app. Kind of bummed that UCI doesn’t give us a definite yes or no for admissions right now.
