TAG UC Davis Managerial Economics (Bus Econ)

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>According to the TAG requirements for UCD, a 3.33 GPA is required for managerial economics. However, I only have a 3.25 as of summer 2013. From what I've read, grades for Fall of 2013 do not apply for TAG, but it do apply for our UC apps.</p>

<p>With that said, I'd like to ask a few questions regarding my application for this major.</p>

<ol>
<li>Is managerial economics considered an impacted major in UCD?</li>
<li>Has anyone been accepted into TAG with a GPA close to the required GPA?</li>
<li>Does a huge upward trend in my GPA affect my TAG apps?</li>
<li>I am attending my 3rd year in a junior college accumulating over 70 credits and planning to have 80+ by end of Fall 2013. Is there a disadvantage for students with this type of statistic?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Do you have a link that says it is 3.33? Last year it was 3.2.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I don’t think so. I’ve been told it’s not. I got accepted missing some prereqs so my guess is that it’s not impacted.</p></li>
<li><p>I don’t think they’ll accept any TAG applicants with a lower GPA than the required GPA. There has to be a cutoff somewhere.</p></li>
<li><p>No. As long as you have the required GPA, that’s it. It doesn’t matter if you went from a 4.0 -> 3.33 or a 2.5-> 3.33.</p></li>
<li><p>No. You can take as many units as you want at CC. I tagged into Man. Econ with 70 something units. I left CC with around 80ish.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks for the reply emprex. I appreciate it. I can’t find the source that stated 3.33 was the GPA requirement for TAG right now. I’m pretty sure I saw it though.</p>

<p>Do you mind sharing what your transferable GPA was?</p>

<p>you can see a list of the impacted majors on the UC Davis TAG website under “resources for students”. The GPA required is also given on that site.</p>

<p>mikemac,</p>

<p>I can’t find the GPA requirement to join TAG for managerial economics from “resources for students.”</p>

<p>Managerial Economics should fall under College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, but only Biotechnology, and Viticulture and Enology are listed.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>

<p>^ Then shouldn’t that mean that Mana Econ isn’t impacted and only requires a 3.2?</p>

I don’t think so.</p>

<p>It say that “TAGs are open to all majors at UC Davis.” However, the link only redirects to information about the majors, but not necessary information about TAGing with it. When I look for transfer information within the webpage of Managerial Economics, it redirects me back to Davis’ tag website.</p>

<p>Maybe I did read something wrong. I’ll stick with what you guys say until I attend a transferring orientation.</p>

<p>Thanks for all the replies.</p>

<p>You might want to call the Davis Admissions office tomorrow to help you relax a bit, [UC</a> Davis: Contact Directory](<a href=“http://admissions.ucdavis.edu/contact/directory.cfm]UC”>Contact Undergraduate Admissions). I’m positive that Managerial Economics only requires a 3.2 to tag.</p>
