Transfer from community college to a TAG eligible California University

The deadline for TAG submission to UC Merced, Santa Barbara, Davis, Riverside, Santa Cruz and UCI is coming up soon. I was planning to TAG Davis, but it turns out my Calculus 1 grade will cause my TAG to be rejected. I’ve seen counselors several times however I was too late to get a transfer counselor that knows what they are talking about and didn’t find out all the facts I really needed. What I’m trying to say is that my TAG submission is due by the end of Sunday but the schools I want to get into: UCI and Davis I wont be able to get into via TAG. My only option is to submit it for another school like Riverside, Santa Cruz or Merced but I’m not sure itll suffice. I can sitll apply to these schools but my acceptance wont be guaranteed without the TAG. If it would help I can post my class history. All in all, I’m not sure where to tag out of the 6 eligble TAG schools.

I had a similar situation, tag ucr or ucsc as a back up school and still apply to uci and ucd. If you have a good gpa, you should be fine
