I tagged UCR but I only got accepted for my alternate major (which is in a completely different “school”). I honestly won’t bother responding to UCR because of this but I thought we were guaranteed admission to our major of choice?
TAG only guarantees admission.
Did you apply to other UC/schools?
You probably should not have put in an alternate.
yes I applied to other schools
Basically TAG is pointless lol
@audreyc915 Something seems wrong here. According to the current TAG matrix UCR guarantees your major, not just campus admission unless you applied to Art Studio. See https://admission.universityofcalifornia.edu/counselors/files/tag-matrix.pdf page 2
You should contact UCR admissions and see if a mistake was made.
@mikemac brought up a good point and it made me give this some thought. You had to have been declined from TAG and rolled over to regular admission. The reason I say this is because the majors have to match in both the Sept TAG application and the Nov application. The UC is very firm on that and reiterate it constantly. You cannot get in via TAG with a major that does not match the Sept TAG application. Thus, you rolled into regular admission and got accepted. There must have been a TAG req not fulfilled.
