Admission decisions will be out this Friday? This is coming directly from the Admissions office?
So I thought applicants that have a TAG get early admission notifications?
We did, it says if the TAG was accepted or not on the TAP page
Wait, so TAG is for the university? I thought it only applied to the major. I completed a TAG for the CRD major at Davis thinking that it secured my place for major for so long as I am admitted to the university.
Chances?
Major: Computer Science & Engineering (second bachelor’s)
GPA: 3.76
Transferring from: CCC

GE: YES
TAG: N/A
IGETC: N/A

@CaptainCal TAG is for university admission… I’m not completely sure if they take in to account you’re major or not, but it’s a guarantee for admission to the university if you complete the courses in progress and planned, that you reported on your TAG application
@frankelsauce Looks great! If you come to UCD, you might have my bro as your TA or instructor at some point.
@DavisCowsRule I just saw your message from a while ago. Thanks for your opinion! Is English a heavily impacted major at Davis? I will only be missing 1 pre-rec and I am willing to take it at Davis in the summer. I’m scared that I won’t get into Davis. Even though I have been accepted to most of my back-up schools, I really only want to go to Davis.
@KingOfTheClouds English takes in a lot of transfers. One or two classes shouldn’t hurt your chances of getting in.
Two more day and we all will know!! The suspense is killing me haha
@DavisCowsRule Oh okay! Thanks! Sorry for asking so many questions It’s just great to have someone to talk to Davis about. My parents are tired of me talking about school and I have so many questions lol Is Davis usually good about financial aid? I know it’s a UC so I don’t expect them to offer much, but do they at least offer a good amount in loans?
If anyone is a History major who intends to go to UCD, be sure to take Spyridakis’ Ancient History (111 series) before he retires. He is really a great professor and famous for his lectures.
@DavisCowsRule Actually this is only the second week of class. So if I drop the class, it won’t show up on my transcript at all. With the class, I’m taking 24.5 units when our cap is at 21 units. So definitely a really full courseload. In addition, that class is at another community college that’s farther away. At my actual cc, I was unable to get the class because it filled up too fast (even though I was on the waitlist, I didn’t get the class).
But yeah, calling seems like the best option. If I don’t get in, there’s always sjsu haha I definitely can drop the class if I decide to go there.
@KingOfTheClouds I don’t know how UCD’s financial package compares to other schools, so can’t really help you there. I live at home, and probably will for at least another year (saves $). My brother (the grad student) is getting a generous award from the university. My tuition is covered, too, thanks to my grandfather who passed away about two years ago (left me a college fund in a trust). A day never passes that I don’t think about him and tell him “thank you.”
@epitome95 Did you list it on your TAG? You might have to explain why it’s missing if you get admitted. But I think they would probably be inclined to let you take the class over the summer (maybe during a summer session at UCD). Definitely talk with an advisor as soon as you get in about the class, and planning your future courses in general.
@DavisCowsRule Awww! That’s so sweet of your grandfather! I always think that’s so great because it really helps out the student!
My chances of getting in?
Major: Managerial Economics
GPA: 3.14
Transferring from: CCC
Prereqs: Majority
TAG: Nope
IGETC: Finish this semester (taking my last english and stats)
EC: Football coach
Accepted: UCR
Rejected: UCSB
@KingOfTheClouds So true…and because I spent so little during the past two years (CCCs really are a great bargain), I’ll have money toward potential graduate studies. So, I will be watching how I spend over the next few years, living at home, working, etc. When I do move out, I’ll probably move in with my brother or share a rental house with some friends, as I would want my dog with me.
@Robhthree Congrats on UCR! Hope you get into UCD as well!
