Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>hi guys, im currently a freshmen at Pierce and i really dont have a clue about this transfer thing. I am going to talk to a counselor after the Spring session is over.</p>

<p>Wanting to transfer to UCI UCD or UCSB as a Biological Science major and change it to Pharmaceutical Science after i Transfer.</p>

<p>Do you guys think TAG is a good idea for me to do? (i am almost done with the IGETC classes just need about 3 more)</p>

<p>i know u need at least a 3.0 GPA to transfer to a UC
Could u still get into a UC with a GPA lower then 3.0?</p>

<p>and i jus really need any info u guys could provide
thanx</p>

<p>if ur planning to sign tag, u need to have a 3.0. im not sure if biological science is impacted at those colleges…</p>

<p>You should really sign a TAG. I’m a student at Pierce as well.</p>

4

<p>hows TAG work exactly?
so lets say i have a 3.0 GPA and i completed all the requirement classes for TAG as a bio major</p>

<p>am i in 100%?</p>

<p>It depends on the college. Some colleges have additional major requirements, and some have certain majors ineligible for TAG. For example, at UCSB:</p>

<p>Pierce here, too. Not for much longer, thankfully. :slight_smile:
You can get into a few UCs with below a 3.0… if my memory serves, UC stat finder lists the mean GPAs for Pierce->M/R/SC as 2.9ish. TAG can’t hurt, but if you can get a GPA around 3.4, it seems unnecessary for the schools you mentioned.</p>

<p>ohhh aright, i understand it a lil better now…thanx to all who posted</p>

<p>For uci, everyone is admitted as a bio sci major. You have to take additional courses and apply to actually get into the pharm sci major. Here are the requirements:</p>

<p>

<p>At least 5 science classes at UCI before you can actually declare the major.</p>

<p>For UCSB, I think you get directly admitted into the major.</p>

<p>There is also pharmacological chemistry at UCSD and Molecular Toxicology at UCB if you were wondering.</p>

<p>You have a shot at SB and D with below a 3.0… but probably not lower then like a 2.9</p>
