<p>Hi, okay so I am not doing so hot in one of my classes. I am considering getting a W for the class. But here is my question, for the TAG application I already submitted that I will be taking this class and what I will be taking next semester. So if I get a W in the class what do I put on the application in November? It complicates things so much, do I just put that I am still taking the class when I send in my app even though I will be putting a W for it? Its not a pre req class its just a transferrable class and it should be no problem if I retake it next semester. If I plan on dropping the class, do I still put it that I am taking it in the application when i submit it november? And do I have to contact the TAG offices?</p>
<p>Don’t be a wuss.</p>
<p>Just finish the class.</p>
<p>Wasn’t it stated in the TAG “contract” that you have to maintain your full-time student status?</p>
<p>What is your current GPA? The school you TAG to can void your TAG if anything on the application turns out to be false so I wouldn’t risk it. If I were you I would push through the class and get the highest grade possible. Assuming it would bring your grade below a 3.0.</p>
<p>Hey thanks for your replies guys. So lets just say i land a “D” in the class. Do UC’s count D’s? Cuz if I get a D in this class then my overall GPA will be brought down to a 3.0 exactly. But what Im afraid of is they wont accept that D. Because don’t they only accept C’s and above. And yes i dont WANT to drop the class, I really rather just push through and get atleast that C. But Im just scared lol. its a 5 unit class btw.</p>
<p>@WrenchFries: Where does the TAG say anything about maintaining full time status? I’ve never heard of that.</p>
<p>I’m in a similar situation.
I’m thinking about dropping a major prereq course that I expect will get a C or even a D and retake it next semester. Without that course, I will most likely be able to get a 4.0 this semester. Since I’m already done with all the TAG requirements (IGETC, 60units, 3.0GPA, etc…), my counselor told me that my TAG will not be affected. All I need to do is to report I got a W in that class.
Base on what my counselor has told me, I think you are safe to drop the course.</p>
<p>can someone else verify that “full time student” thing? I also never heard of this, and is very curious of this.</p>
<p>The “full time student” thing has to be inaccurate. In all my meetings with UCSD admissions counselors and CC counselors (and trust me, there have been a lot) this has never been brought up. Also, there are plenty of kids who only take a class or two in the spring semester since they’ve already finished everything else.</p>
<p>Yea, that’s what I’ve been doing at CC. I had like 6 AP classes, which covered many of the IGETC requirements. I only had to take math/physics/chem and English classes. I don’t think I ever had a semester that I would have been considered a “full time” student… :S</p>
<p>Yeah and in the last meeting I had with the UCSD admissions counselor I was told to take 1 unit at my CC in the spring to re-establish myself as a CC student (leaving UCI after this quarter; long story.) That 1 unit didn’t even have to be a UC transferable course, so yeah, there’s no way the full time student thing is true.</p>
