<p>So I will be applying for the UCSD TAG this fall, in hopes of transfering into ucsd in fall of 2012. The requirements is that one must have a cumulative gpa of 3.5 by the end of this fall. So I got a 3.4 gpa this semester. But due to a lower gpa last semester, I will have a 3.2 gpa after my summer courses that I will be taking this summer. I calculated my potential grades for this fall that I need to get and I should land at a 3.5 to qualify. My question is, when do I sign the tag with ucsd? Also, how will they know that I made it to qualify with a 3.5? Is there a place where I will load my fall grades, like in january of next year?</p>

<p>All of your questions will be answered there.</p>
<p>As far as I understand, when you fill out the TAG in September, your gpa doesn’t matter. You just tell them what you’ve gotten so far, and what classes you’re taking for fall, and what you plan on taking for spring. But when you update them with your grades from fall, you need to have over 3.5 and all the required classes taken. </p>
<p>That’s what I’ve gotten out of it anyways…</p>
<p>You’ll fill out a TAG application and a UC application in the fall. You’ll update your UC app in January with your fall grades and whatever you end up with is what’s used to determine your admission decision (spring grades aren’t counted into that decision, but if you drop below the TAG requirements your admission decision will be rescinded.)</p>
<p>interesting.</p>
<p>@oopogfe You have to have a 3.5gpa at the time of application for the TAG and when you do the academic update. If you do not have a 3.5 at the time of application, you will not be approved into the TAG program.</p>
<p>really? well thats good to know… haha thanks. I guess I really need to get A’s this summer then…</p>
<p>so basically you need a 3.5 after this summer.</p>
<p>No. You need a 3.5 AFTER FALL. it says on the website.</p>
<p>Since you’re new to College Confidential… I’ll clue you in now. </p>
<p>You’re answering a thread from two months ago.</p>
