Regarding TAG, is it impossible for my application to be approved if I'm missing a requirement?

This is pertaining to a specific’s school’s requirements – on UC Santa Cruz’s requirements it says AT THE TIME of applying, you need to have fulfilled one of these Econ classes that they list.

I’m taking an econ class this semester, meaning it is in progress… would it be safe to say that there is no chance of my TAG application being approved and I should just apply elsewhere?

You need to contact TAG at UCSC today and find out if that means by end of summer 2015 or end of fall 2015. The wording is often confusing. Call now while you still have time.

I actually did call a while back and they only seem to have an automated attendant to receive calls. But I will email them, thank you!
