<p>My TAG agreement got rejected because they said because since I havent taken a math class yet, they couldnt accept me. I have all my prereqs done and I am going to take a stats class in the spring. Why would they reject me? I have a 3.9 gpa and I am majoring in political science.</p>
<p>You answered your own question, in the question itself. They didn’t approve your TAG because you hadn’t taken a math class yet.</p>
<p>your stats class obviously wont fulfill the math prereq. If you would have fulfilled in spring they would have approved you. This or you’re not telling us something that prevents your TAG from getting approved.</p>
<p>No I meant I will have all the prereqs done by the end of the spring. The only prereq that is missing is stats which I am going to take next semester</p>
<p>are you 100% sure that stats will fulfill the math requirement?
are you 100% sure that the math class is why your TAG got rejected?
will you not have completed enough units?
will you be done with igetc?</p>
<p>ask your counselor to look over the TAG request to see if you are missing anything. they will be able to look at the physical document as well as your transcript.</p>
<p>1.Yes I am sure stats fulfills the math requirement for political science majors.
2. The rejection letter said that not having the math class done was the reason
3. I will have 57 units after this semester and 69 when I transfer
4. Once I complete the math requirement I will be done with the igetc</p>
<p>I filled out the tag form with my counselor. I dont know its just weird. Do you think they may have rejected me because im not likely to go to that school and they want to reserve a spot for someone that is more likely to go there?</p>
<p>possible but unlikely</p>
<p>Why can’t you just take what the rejection letter says at face value? I’m certain that’s why you weren’t accepted for TAG. I know it sucks that you weren’t accepted, but if you want more info, you should probably call the UCSC admissions office, and speak with a counselor at your school. Besides, how do they know that you’re not likely to go to UCSC? I’d bet that’s something they don’t know (how could they know?), so that’s probably something they didn’t take into consideration. Think about it.</p>
<p>And, yes, statistics will fulfill the math portion of the politics major. I took Intro to Stats (XL10) at UCLA Extension, and that’s the only college math I have completed. I was accepted to UCSC for winter 2010 as a politics major.</p>
<p>Yeah I guess your right. But I had a friend out of high school who got rejected from santa cruz and got into berkeley. Thats why I thought maybe they take that into account whether you would actually go to the school</p>
<p>Rejected from UCSC, but accepted to Cal? That’s a story you don’t hear every day. Even in that situation, I’m not convinced that the reason your friend was accepted to Cal but not UCSC was because admissions considered where the person would most likely attend. The reason I say this is because, unless I’m mistaken, the admissions process at each UC is completely independent of the other schools’ admissions process. I have a feeling they’d allow the student to make that decision, instead of making it for them and closing doors to them, know what I mean?</p>
<p>Besides, aren’t you bound for UCLA anyway? Are you trying to get into UCSC as a backup?</p>
<p>yeah…it’s uncommon but I know of several students (freshmen) who last year were rejected from Davis and Irvine but got into LA and Berkeley. </p>
<p>These schools want to increase there enrollment percentage and make their school look more desirable to applicants. It only seems to work for UCI though.</p>
<p>UCLA is my first choice, but i want to have a couple backup colleges</p>
<p>Ok I talked to my counselor today and he said the reason they denied my tag was probably because they had limited spots available and they gave it to the people who already fit all the requirements. They probably denied me because they needed to reduce the number of people that qualified to get it to a number that they had in mind to accept</p>
<p>Interesting, thanks for the update.</p>
