<p>Hey, I'm currently a transfer student going to Foothill College in the Bay. </p>

<p>I am trying to sign a winter 2011 TAG with UCSD as a microbiology major. I will have a majority of my lower division done, except possibly what is equiv to math 20C? i think, as well as IGETC, and as for upper division i will have one quarter of O.Chem left to complete. </p>

<p>i believe by then i should be applying with a 3.4? gpa</p>

<p>my ECs vary from volunteering at hospitals to tutoring to working with various organizations , but i do have a good amount. </p>

<p>i was wondering, what do you think my chances of getting in with the TAG are? I am worried that UCSD wont offer a winter tag when it comes down to my time to apply. </p>

<p>also since i was considering rushing, how do you think it would effect my workload? </p>

<p>also what do you think i should rank my colleges as? because i wasn't really wanting revelle, and was actually ok with roosevelt. does the college you pick effect your admissions?</p>

<p>thanks for the help :)</p>

<p>hmm. 3.4 is a bit low, but give it a try and hope for the best. Math20C is just vector calc, so whatever foothill has that’s similar should do. Rushing increases your workload quite a bit. I would get used to the campus first, then rush. ERC is pretty hard for microbio since it has many non science recs. I would go muir, marshall, or revelle.</p>
