Stupid Mistake *URGENT*

Transfer Students UC Transfers

<p>I made a huge error on my TAG applications for the UC's. I applied as a Sociology major for UCI, UCSD, UCSB, UCD, and UCR. After discussing it with my parents and putting more thought into a major that would be most beneficial to me in the pursuit of a career in the dental, pharmaceutical, or medical fields, I decided to apply for science majors instead and thus on the official UC applications, I applied primarily for science majors. By this time (November), the TAG applications had already been reviewed and approved by the schools and I had no way of making changes :(</p>

<p>This is my information:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.31 (will go up to 3.44 by the conclusion of Spring 2011 semester)
IGETC Completed
TAGs Submitted-->Sociology
Personal Statements: Strong</p>

<p>Majors I Applied For on UC Application:</p>

<p>UCLA-->Applied Major: Anthropology (BS)/Alternate Major: Marine Biology (BS)
UCSD-->Applied Major: Ecology, Evolution, & Biodiversity/Alt. Major: Sociology (Science & Medicine)
UCI-->Applied Major: Ecology, Evolution, & Biodiversity/Alt. Major: Biological Sciences
UCSB-->Applied Major: Zoology (BS)/Alt. Major: Biological Sciences</p>

<p>PreReqs:
* For UCLA Anthropology (BS) Major*
-Completed Biological & Cultural Anthropology courses </p>

<p>Science PreReqs Completed:
1. Biology I
2. Biology II
3. Chemistry I</p>

<p>To Be Completed Spring 2011:
1. Chemistry II
2. Calculus & Analytical Geometry</p>

<p>Is there any way I can notify the UC's and inform them of the change I made to my majors on the official application? Will I be able to save my TAG applications and keep them valid if I request any changes? Did I just royally screw up my chances of being guaranteed admission to any of those UC schools? :( </p>

<p>Please help me out. I would appreciate any feedback & advice. Thank you kindly in advance</p>

<p>For all the majors you chose that is different from the TAG application, TAG will not count. </p>

<p>Also, Spring 2011 will not be factored into the GPA at the time you get accepted, so no point of including that in the GPA (it will only be used to either rescind you if you go below whatever they ask)</p>

<p>If you can somehow change the majors for the November 30 apps, then it might be possible, but I doubt you’ll be able to make changes to the TAG application.</p>

<p>Just call each individual campus and discuss the issue with them. I’m sure you can resolve the mistake rather hassle-free.</p>

<p>your TAG will be voided if you don’t put the same Major</p>

<p>I will also add that UCSD isn’t even going to use the TAG application. If you followed their announcements they said you could apply for TAG without even submitting a TAG application. I can’t emphasize how important it is to call each one of these schools though. Counselors are there to help you… utilize it.</p>
