<p>A TAG is a guarantee, provided you meet all of the qualifications. If you do not meet the TAG’s qualifications, you’re not guaranteed admission. It’s that simple.</p>
<p>There are some students who got screwed by the system–bad information from counselors, that sort of thing–but at the end of the day, they didn’t meet the qualifications. If you do, it’s a guarantee, period.</p>
<p>Do note that a TAG guarantees admission to the university, though not necessarily admission to a specific major. If you’re not accepted to your major, you’ll need to choose a less competitive major, but you’re still accepted.</p>
