<p>Alright, so I know that UCSB's fall 2013 TAG requires that you have a 3.2 gpa "by the end of fall 2012." Does that mean you are allowed to have below a 3.2 during the September you apply, but will be able to TAG if you pull it up to a 3.2 by the end of the that fall semester?</p>
<p>I hope that made sense. Thanks to anyone who can help clear this up.</p>
<p>Maybe this is one of the reasons they have “pre-majors” with GPA requirements for some of the more popular majors - to weed out people from getting into the full major. For example, Economics and Economics/Accounting majors need to pass Economics 10A: Intermediate Microeconomic Theory with a grade of “B” or higher. Anything less and you’ll have to choose another major.</p>
