Rejected. CS TAG. 3.9+ GPA. Completed all IGETC and major courses. Got an acceptance from UCSD for EE. Sorry to everyone who got rejected.
what is this? i TAGed Irvine - i took a computer class just for them instead of taking ochem II (something i wanted to take) and get rejected? i’m going to call admissions on Monday and ask them why.
i’m pretty upset about this because i took a class just to meet their TAG requirements, and don’t even get offered admission. it’s TAG! i was never intending to go to Irvine but if people actually depended on their TAG to Irvine and then ended up getting rejected that means the system is messed up and i’m not going to sit around and do nothing.
I tagged cs and met all their requirements. Literally no more pre reqs I could’ve taken and rejected
@KeepItCool there must be something you missed. Call the TAG office and ask.
@Ohm888 It is the weekend, so I don’t know if they are available but I will definitely call them on monday
@Transferrrrrrcc: Why my friend said UCI stop using TAG for CS?
I tagged too and I got rejected. Funny thing is that I applied to UCB, UCSD, UCLA, UCSB, and UCI. Got accepted to all except UCLA and UCI but I still managed to get in the waitlist for UCLA. Pretty confused at what happened to my admissions. I did get something saying that I should appeal but I’m pretty sure everyone got that too. Also, my cc gpa was a 4.0 and I did all the major requirement courses for my major.
Can’t edit my post (#2053) but I just copied & pasted my UCLA entry and forgot to delete the TAP note. For future reference, I didn’t TAG for UCI.
@nanavn i don’t know about CS because I’m not a CS Major. I’m a chemical engineering major.
In any case, they should have made TAG not an option like UCSB. UCSB makes it clear that you can’t TAG if you are an engineering major. UCI cannot claim to give out spots if you meet certain reqs and then not give them. It’s ridiculous and just a dick move on their part. UCI is known for screwing people over though so I guess we should have expected this.
@nanavn For fall 2020 they don’t do TAG with Donald Bren School any more. But this year they still have it.
To any prospective transfer that happened to stumble upon my comment… Don’t give up.
I dropped out of highschool as a sophomore, took my GED, and dropped out constantly in school. I have 5+ Ws, failed a class(retook it for a B ), dropped out at one point, and stuck with it. I got accepted to all of the UCs I applied to so far: UCI, UCLA, UCSD. I am sure I got accepted to USC(they’re asking for my grades and requesting transcripts). If it helps I am an English major with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 and UC transferable GPA of 3.85.
UCI needs to hurry up with their Financial Aid Award… I want to make a decision soon & I want to stop stressing out about this. Most schools sent out their Financial Aid WITH their acceptance decision like UCB, UCSD, etc and others took maybe a week or 2. CSULB and ALL other Cal State Schools need a decision BY May 1st and it’s not fair to not have all our options available.
CompSci TAG denied last night at 1am PST. I had all reqs and 3.6gpa lol
@Ohm888 It is the weekend, so I don’t know if they are available but I will definitely call them on monday
Can I ask what were your stats (gpa, prereqs, etc)
What was your gpa
I have submitted SLR to UCI four weeks ago, have not heard back yet. anyone had a response ?
Hey guys! Quick question… does anyone know if Calculus II (Math 2B) is required at UCI in order to graduate? I’ve heard conflicting things, and don’t know if I should take it when I am still at CC while I can. I got admitted as a Health Sciences major, with just Calculus I + Intro to Stats. TIA!!
@fisher316 I submitted mine on the 22nd and it tells me I will be notify in 4 weeks. You should call Monday and ask what’s up
