<p>Alright, so I have a question... So lets say when we get our acceptances in April, does that mean we will be OFFICIALLY approved for admission? And what if we have a TAG? For instance, I only have a TAG to UC Davis for Neurobiology and in the TAG it says I need to complete Calculus 2 and 3. But, what if I only complete Calculus 2? If I'm already granted admission, and my tag gets revoked because I didn't complete Calculus 3, does that mean my admission is revoked too? Do you know what I mean? And for the other UC schools, will they let us know if there are VITAL classes we HAVE to complete in order to keep our admissions? Maybe it's more complicated because I'm on the quarter system at a CC instead of a semester? What do you all think??</p>
<p>These are some great questions. In most cases if you are admitted then, yes, you are in for sure. Where this is not the case are situations such as lying on your TAG, application or grade update. The UC’s have to make sure that your official transcript matches everything you said you have taken or will take and that the grades are all identical.</p>
<p>So you’re saying regardless of the TAG stipulation for course requirements, if we get our acceptances in April, then it will NOT matter if we do not finish a REQUIRED course in our TAG agreement? The reason I thought of that was because those requirements would not be established had we applied without the TAG… and were likely to gain admission through regular admission whether we had or not anyways… Do UC’s normally put on there acceptances “conditional”… for instance, we do such and such courses or the acceptance will be revoked??</p>
<p>Not sure how it works, but I’m pretty sure you have to complete those classes or let them know you are not. When they are reviewing your app, they are looking at what you are taking and plan on taking as well. From what I’ve read you can get your acceptance revoked or something for not following through. That’s what I thought.</p>
<p>No, theres a possibility they can rescind you.</p>
<p>Don’t you just get admitted conditionally?</p>
<p>I have the same question. I TAG to Davis and they told me to finish bio 1c but I can’t get the class. I will try to add the first day but most likely it’s not going to happen. I put on my update that it is planned though. The thing is wouldn’t decisions be out already? Let’s say I do get he class but drop with a W but I got accepted before hand how does that work?</p>

<p>No, it isn’t a “no matter what, you’re admitted” admission. It’s a conditional admission. You’ll be required to complete any courses to fulfill the TAG obligations. There can and will also be additional requirements laid forth for the spring semester. You’ll be required to maintain a certain GPA for the semester and (depending on the school) potentially be required to get a C or above in all your courses for the spring.</p>
<p>For example, last year UCI required a minimum of a C in all spring coursework and a minimum 2.8 GPA for the spring semester. If you dipped below either, your admission got rescinded. </p>
<p>In short, pay VERY close attention to the requirements laid out in the conditional offer of admission. They can and will rescind the admission offer if you don’t fulfill your obligation.</p>
<p>@Grimes99 is absolutely correct. Every admission decision is conditional. They must verify that you completed everything that you said you did, and that you recieved the grades you said you did. There is no “get the letter and I’m in even if I didn’t take 3 classes I said I was going to”.</p>
<p>Yes… that makes sense… what I’m mostly wondering is if we do not finish a class that was required on our TAG agreement (Calculus 3) it would then become revoked… but we were already granted admission. Basically, if a student would have been qualified enough to gain admission without TAG, but then doesn’t finish a class that is required for that program… would we still be admitted? Just like there are lots of people that didn’t do the TAG (didn’t know about it) or for whatever reason was not eligible… but they then applied through regular admission and became accepted… do they have a “conditional” acceptance like people that do a TAG… or are they pretty much IN once they get the letter… besides the obvious of not lying on applications, etc… just didn’t take a class that was put on the application as “planned”?</p>
<p>Good question. Not taking a class that you marked as “planned” can be grounds for them to revoke your admission, but this doesn’t mean that it necessarily will be. I have heard of people not fulfilling eveything they said they would or marked as “planned” and still getting in. However, I have also heard of people getting their admissions revoked for the same reason.</p>
<p>If you have the chance to finish all the pre-reqs then do it. You don’t want two years of hard work to go in the toilet just becase you didn’t take one class…</p>
<p>@UCSCMelissa:</p>
<p>Whether you’re TAG or not, all admits are given a conditional offer of admission. Nobody is guaranteed anything until all your transcripts are submitted and approved. </p>
<p>If you are reviewed as a TAG applicant and don’t fulfill the obligations laid forth on your TAG app (not taking a class, for example) you are most definitely jeopardizing your chance of being admitted. They won’t go back and give you the benefit of “well if you were reviewed as a regular transfer… you would have gotten in.” If you’re reviewed as TAG, you have to fulfill the requirements of TAG.</p>
<p>^ this only applys to Davis TAG correct? Because they are the only ones asking to finish specific classes with a certain grade in order for TAG to he furfulled or will UCs such as ucsd and uci do something similar later? Does anyone know this?</p>
<p>^ I’m pretty sure that all UCs require that transferable courses be completed with a C or above, it’s not just Davis.</p>
<p>@Pianotcat: I know specifically that UCI and UCSD require this, so I’m assuming it’s true with for all TAGs.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies… I definitely plan on taking Calculus 3 next semester so I have no worries on my TAG being revoked, but the concept of how that all worked was on my mind. If something isn’t completely clear to me I have this drive to want to figure it out. So for general admissions does anyone know what the acceptance letter says? Are ALL acceptance letters conditional? I guess this is where being on the semester system at a community college is useful because you already have all the classes you will need by the time you fill out the update on the application… BUT what about the students on the quarter system that won’t know FOR SURE whether they will be able to get the classes they need in April… and what if they can’t take a planned course that they put down, even if it’s just an elective? I’m pretty certain that I will be able to get the classes I put down as planned, but I’m just curious and maybe other people may have the same question… Thanks!!</p>
<p>Yes, all acceptance letters are conditional.</p>
<p>So ucsd and uci will send a similar email saying you have to finish all your planned classes with a certain grade just like UCD? So I shouldn’t put a class as planned even though it is a prereq and I may not get it sense I am trying to add?</p>
<p>@Pianocat: UCSD and UCI will, that’s correct. You’ll get an email and it will be on the official letter of admission they send you in the mail. </p>
<p>Are you on the quarter system?</p>
<p>I have become jaded, so I will treat any admissions offer I may recieve as conditional until the day I pay for my classes and show up on the roster the first day.</p>
