<p>Hello, I am a college student who currently attends a community college. I want to transfer out, but at the moment I don't have 45 quarter units to fill out the TAG application. I'm positive that I will complete my 90 quarter units once spring quarter ends, so I am filling applications to transfer out (once the filing period starts). If I do this, what's really the difference between filling in a application for TAG and filling in a application for admission at a UC. Will my chances of getting admitted into a UC lower themselves? Or will I have the same opportunity of getting admitted than those who filled in the TAG application?</p>
<p>TAG is short for “Transfer Admission Guarantee”. Meaning that if you complete all of the requirements and submit the TAG application on time and correctly, you are <em>guaranteed</em>, as opposed to regular admission where obviously there is no guarantee, regardless of your stats.</p>
<p>Hmm. Alright, thanks so much for your help! 
Let’s hope I do get into UCSC without the TAG.</p>
<p>Good luck. :)</p>
