Quick Question

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>Here is an article from the requirements in the College of Letters and Science for psychology at UC Davis:</p>

<p>You must earn an overall transfer GPA of 2.80 or higher to be a competitive candidate for admission. An overall transfer GPA of 2.90 or higher is required to qualify for a Transfer Admission Guarantee (TAG). </p>

<p>At the end of my fall semester, my GPA dropped from a 3.09 to a 2.79. Will my admission be based on the 2.79 or will they be looking at my final transcript that I send after the spring semester? Not to mention, I also have a TAG with UC Davis. My counselor told me something about I will be receiving an acceptance letter from UC Davis as long as I fulfill the TAG requirements, but I am not sure about this. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.</p>

<p>They will look at your 2.79. From the info you stated, you will no longer be eligible for TAG. Nor will you be considered as “competitive” since you don’t have a 2.80. They obviously won’t look at your Spring Grades since they will be releasing their decisions in a few weeks</p>

<p>that’s a pretty big fall…</p>

<p>FutureAggie, I concur with iHateCeltics. And don’t let the other posters get to you. If 2.8 is competitive, you are just a little less competitive – and only in terms of GPA. Make sure to keep your GPA high this semester, and if need be, appeal with that higher GPA.</p>

<p>more like unforseeableaggie!!! jk i visited the school and the campus is pretty bomb. i cant say the same about the girls. the parties were pretty raging though</p>

<p>Yeah, I know I messed up big time. I am currently retaking a class in which I received a D in last semester and my other classes are all A’s and B’s. After this last semester, my GPA is going to jump to a 3.1 or higher.</p>

<p>As far as my TAG goes, isn’t it still valid? I mean, yes, it did drop below 2.9, but shouldn’t they be checking it after my final transcript is received?</p>

<p>I’m not sure how TAG works. Maybe another TAG applicant can answer that.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure they look at your final transcript for the tag. </p>

<p>“You had a UC-transferable GPA of XXX when your UC Davis TAG was signed. You must maintain a GPA of 2.90 or higher for all UC-transferable units taken prior to transfer enrollment.”</p>

<p>For TAG you need to maintain the required GPA until the last semester.</p>
