Hey guys!

I just started community college in hopes of saving some money! Fresh out of high school. My counselor at school isn’t really helpful and I want some clear information about TAG and when/how/what I need to complete to be a valid applicant. I am so far planning on majoring in biology, not sure if it’s a good idea to go into microbio or bio chemistry------> route to pre-med so far!!!

Do I need to complete all the general ed classes prior to applying? So far I am in the process of completeing EWRT1A (English 1) and Pre calc. I am planning on doing English 2 and a bunch of sciences in the fall. I will for sure have more than the minimum amount of units, as I have a bunch of AP scores and I also took 2 college courses as a high schooler ( psychology and sociology).

I am either tagging Davis, Santa Barbara, or Irvine ( mostly leaning towards Davis because of their bio department).

Please let me know what I need to complete to get my TAG approved! I don’t want to be without one!

(Bye I will by transferring fall 2019)

You need the two english and math reqs by end of fall, plus the 30 completed units (including AP) by end of this summer to TAG. The GE and rest can be completed this upcoming year - but always more important to get major coursework done. Also re : Bio, you should probably do breadth and i don’t believe they all need to be completed before you transfer if you run out of time. Check top of assist for info on that for each major. Also, TAG has minimum GPA requirements that vary by campus and sometimes dept. it will say on the TAG page.
