Hello everyone,
My GPA is 3.5. I applied from a community college to UCSB for two colleges: College of Creative Studies and College of Letters and Science and my major is physics. I have TAG with UCSB. However, I got message today on UCSB portal which says that I am not admitted. Is this decision of UCSB CCS or both colleges?
I am going to call them tomorrow, but for now this drives me crazy
Please help…
I found this- sounds like you applied during open/regular enrollment? If so that is not a part of TAG this says: How to pursue TAG
- Use the UC Transfer Admission Planner to complete the TAG application, and review it with your community college counselor and/or UC campus TAG adviser. You’ll need to submit it Sept. 1–30.
- You’ll find out if your TAG is approved in November. If it is, fulfill all remaining coursework and GPA requirements in your TAG agreement.
- Fill out the application for admission to UC and submit it Nov. 1–30. http://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/transfer/guarantee/
Did you use the TAP program and get reviewed? Did you apply in September? If so whoever your TAP counselor is should be able to help.
yes I did everything in time…
and yes they approved my TAG
You didn’t get admitted to either one? That’s strange. The majors you’re going for are probably full. If you submitted your application by Nov. 30 that could be why. You have the grades but they only select so many and they do in order from when they received the application. I got accepted to the school, but not to my first choice major(CCS as well). Instead, my second(environmental studies).
Lastly, did they give you an option to chose another major?
Hope this helps.
That is nonsense. If you qualify for the program and meet the deadlines, they guarantee admission.
OP, go meet with a xfer counselor at your school. Perhaps UCSB made a mistake, or perhaps you fell short of the requirements somehow. Posting here isn’t going to fix things, you need to work with a counselor and UCSB to figure out what happened.
