<p>I was in the TAG program, and set to enroll into UCSD. As you may or may not have heard, UCSD has recently raised their GPA requirements to a 3.5. Did they have to brutally blind side us 2012'ers like that? </p>
<p>So, I'm screwed, and now i'm wondering what now? I'm located in San Diego, and a 3.1 was what I was able to obtain while working full time (and sometimes part time on top of school) so I could never completely focus in school. </p>
<p>Anyway, i'm wondering what schools I can still have a shot at with a gpa in the low 3's? I feel like there is nothing out there. Maybe University of San Diego?? Doubt it though. </p>
<p>Suggestions?</p>
<p>Mine is 3.0 
and I’m transferring from CC, I applied to almost all UC’s, Pepperdine, and some CSU’s. I got my acceptance letter from UC Riverside. So i guess you’ll get there, I’m not sure about others though… good luck</p>
<p>Arizona State University. They’ll accept you. They accepted me as a H.S. student with a 2.4 GPA.</p>
<p>By TAG do you mean high school Talented and Gifted? Also a high gpa counts but knowing a general SAT/ACT score is very helpful in determining school acceptance. </p>
<p>Do not put so much weight into not getting into one school that it makes you upset. Think of this as a better opportunity is out there that you just have not found yet.</p>
<p>Don’t completely give up hope. A lot of people get rejected by TAG and get in on normal acceptance. You have a chance, especially if your major isn’t impacted. And by the way, ucsd doesn’t honor tags like the other schools do. What I mean is SD doesn’t give tag much importance. I’m “tagged” for SD for 2011 but the letter is really ambiguous and doesn’t say a simple yes or no. Also, for those who don’t know, TAG is a transfer guarantee program from CA community colleges to UCs. Oh, also you could post in the UC transfer section if you need to clarify anything about SD! Good luck and I hope you get in next year :)</p>
<p>Thanks for the support guys. I was wondering what my southern cal options were first, but its nice knowing ASU is there just in case. Hehe. </p>
<p>I feel like I need to go shop for a new car with a 6000 dollar check…just nothing out there that would seem to accept me as a transfer. </p>
<p>Do any of you know any tricks to make it easier to transfer…like not applying for financial aid, or maybe choosing the easiest major possible? I just need to transfer the heck out of CC already. </p>
<p>I’ve got a 3.1 to work with, and that’s about it lol.</p>
<p>Did you try for SDSU? It’s too late to apply for fall but maybe for spring?</p>
<p>Do you go to Mira Costa</p>
<p>If you’re willing to go out of state, try FGCU and FAU.</p>
<p>Try a CSU? Their admissions requirements generally seem to be more lax than the UCs.</p>
