<p>I'm going to UCSD and I know that with TAG you must maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA by the end of spring or else they revoke your admission. How strict are they? I currently have a 3.63 with 5 classes. Does anybody know what I would need to get to be safe? Any help is appreciated, thanks!</p>
<p>If you’re asking what GPA you need to get for this semester, that depends on how many credits you’ve completed, and how many you have now.</p>
<p>Assuming you’ve taken an equal number of credits every semester for all 4 semesters, a 3.12 GPA for this semester would average out to around a 3.5 cumulative… but again, this is guesswork, since you’ve not given us enough information. If you’re all A’s and B’s you shouldn’t have a problem.</p>
<p>How to calculate this sort of thing yourself:</p>
<p>(old GPA * credits completed) + (semester GPA * credits this semester) = total credits * target</p>
<p>Or, for your case:</p>
<p>GPA needed this semester >= ((3.5 * total credits) - (3.63 * credits completed)) / credits this semester</p>
<p>They are pretty strict with the requirements. If you don’t meet one or fail to meet one, they will rescind the TAG agreement. It won’t affect your normal application though.</p>
<p>@failure622 I currently have at least 3 solid A’s that I am aware of. One class I have no idea my grade, and one is an 89% B+. I know that no grades in any of my classes will dip below a B. It’s just that a couple of classes are flirting with the A/B line. I am also currently enrolled in 15 units with 52 units already completed. So in theory I could finish with almost all B’s and my UC cumulative would not drop below that 3.5?</p>
<p>@mermaker how does the TAG work independently from the application? I thought the contract said your offer of admission is revoked?</p>
