<p>Hello everyone, I will be tagging to UC Davis as Political Science A.B. I checked what needed to be done before I transferred over on Assist.org. It seems like I do not have to complete the prerequisites before transferring, but I must maintain a 3.2 gpa. I will have one course done which will be Statistics. I might be mistaken, is a 3.2 gpa all I need to TAG to UC Davis as a political science major? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>3.2 overall gpa for the Uc davis transferable courses. You have to keep up that gpa for the whole year.</p>
<p>Will I need to complete the prerequisites as part of my TAG or do I just need a 3.2 overall gpa?</p>
<p>Unless you’re going into engineering or an impacted major, UC Davis is pretty lenient when it comes to prerequisites–I didn’t complete half of my prerequisites back when I TAG’d for UC Davis last year and still got in. And you need a 3.2 overall GPA.</p>
<p>Thanks Sapranokitty, do you know which majors are impacted? Is political science or anthropology impacted at UC Davis?</p>
<p>I don’t think either political science or anthropology are impacted; generally the majors that tend to be impacted are the science majors, (example: Biotechnology). Impacted majors tend to have a higher GPA requirement for transfer students than nonimpacted majors (that is, while the minimum TAG GPA is 3.2., if a major is impacted, it may require incoming transfers to have a higher GPA than what’s required for TAG, and this varies among impacted majors, so I can’t give you an exact value). One of my roommates is a PoliSci major, and she didn’t have a few prerequisites completed prior to coming to UCD (mainly because there wasn’t an equivalent at her community college; however, she didn’t TAG and applied as a regular applicant).</p>
<p>Thank you! I’m not sure what the best decision is between political science and anthropology. I have one prerequisite out of 3 done in the anthropology catagory on assist.org and also statistics will be completed. So I’ll pretty much be 2/4 but there are also courses that my school doesn’t offer. If I applied as political science, I wouldn’t have any prerequisite done besides statistics. Do you think the best decision would be to pick anthropology as my major?</p>
