HS senior denied by every instate school. What do I do next?

I do not want to cause you anymore issues but you might want to look at UCSC’s TAG requirements very closely since I have seen at least 1 TAG applicant get rejected this year and still figuring what went wrong and several the year before due to the CC courses not specifically articulating to UCSC’s requirements.

TAG UCSC CS but not accepted!!

Hello, I applied for CS 2020 with TAG, but my admission did not get accepted! I did not meet the major screening criteria, and it’s because my college does not provide the course I need to meet the criteria, so there was not much I could do! The message I received was: We have completed a thorough review of your application for admission. Unfortunately, you do not meet the major screening criteria for admission to your proposed major. However, because of your strong overall academic achievement, we would like to offer you admission into one of our non-screening majors. Can I appeal this decision?
