<p>So if I fullfill the requirements at my community college and apply for TAG at UC,
I will be admitted to any UC I want as long as I fullfill their requirements? I won't have
a chance of being denied? Do ALL TAG students get in? There must be so many people
trying to get TAG, aren't there? Do all students who apply for TAG get in? Is there a
competition between TAG students? Do TAG students with better GPA than others get in when there are too many TAG students?</p>
<p>Help me out, thank you very much for your reply in advance.</p>
<p>TAG requirement----
The courses you must complete before transferring
The minimum GPA you must earn
The number of units required to transfer
The specific requirements for high-demand majors</p>
<p>The tag requirement are not too bad. Although it is only available to all campus except Cal/LA</p>
<p>all you have to do is have 60 units completed by the spring and a 3.0 gpa and also the additional requirements listed per major by campus. Also i believe you can’t have any U.C/CSU work done.</p>
<p>The thing with tag is that if you attend that school you are required to go into the major you listed during the tag</p>
<p>No there is no competition for TAG because not many people even bother to tag. If you tag then you have to take certain classes that may or may not be required for UCLA or Berkeley majors, so instead of taking classes that would satisfy a major prereq at UCLA or Berkeley, your stuck taking a class that satisfies tag.</p>
<p>Yea but there’s no competition because a contract was signed. If you fulfill everything you are guaranteed admission despite how competitive a school or major is.</p>
<p>not all schools require a signed tag. UCSD and UCSC does not require a signed contract, but instead offer a guarantee by completing the requirements and clicking the check mark box on the application for UC’s. i have a tag for UCSC, UCSD and UCSB for fall 2010. buttttt i will be going to cal poly SLO if i get accepted outright</p>
<p>I was thinking the same thing as the OP. It’s that little devil on my shoulder telling me that something will go wrong and I’ll get denied. Luckily, I don’t really listen to that guy. </p>
<p>Speaking hypothetically, if a school such as UCSD had a lot of people applying under the TAG agreement such as an economics major (based on my impression on these forums), then all those that fit the requirements would get it. However, once admitted, I would think that there would be problems when signing up for classes because of the large number of admitted in that said major. If one was denied entry to a majority of necessary classes during the first (few) quarter(s) and was forced to take unnecessary classes, then wouldn’t it be worse being accepted than being denied because of the inefficient use of tuition money?</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Am I just being paranoid? I don’t actually know what the classroom situations is with UCs but I know a lot of classes in the CSU system are having sizing issues causing students to take the semester off. It happened to my friend twice. He’s an engineering major as SJSU, and he wasn’t able to get into any of his upper-division classes this semester and the previous semester, so he’s forced to take the year off. He already completed all his GEs.</p>
<p>TAG guarantees admission to the school and not necessarily the major (or choice of the 6 colleges) at UCSD. If they have too many of one major, they will make people do similar majors.</p>
