<p>^ did you TAG?</p>
<p>@fkhan0 I’m an English major and have already heard back. Nice to see a fellow comrade around here!</p>

<p>Although they are holistic now I’m pretty sure that it is pretty much the same as before and only really is holistic as in looking at your personal statements if they are deciding between you and another application. Also i never see any other criminology majors around here.</p>
<p>@ rickyseg</p>
<p>Are you a Criminology, Law and Society major? I actually TAGGED, and I know that and my alternate: Social Ecology are not impacted, so I’m hoping if my TAG is thrown out, I’ll still get in through the regular admissions process.</p>
<p>@ UCdrone, I did TAG.
Weirdly enough, I got an email last week asking me in which country I completed my first two years of high school even though I’ve only lived and studied in the US my entire life. :/</p>
<p>@silvertongues, Congrats; you must be so excited!!! Did you TAG as well?</p>
<p>@ fkhan0</p>
<p>Maybe they confused your email with a different app. I have no idea why it takes so long for TAGs to hear back, especially for non-impacted majors. I’m embarrassed to say, I’m getting a little ticked off.</p>
<p>@fkhan0 I tagged! Is UCI your first choice?</p>

<p>I take it back, people who TAGGED did hear back. Ugh.</p>
<p>@silvertongues, have you heard from other schools, and is UCI your first choice?</p>
<p>Yeah so I guess they are releasing in batches huh. So much for “on a rolling basis” like they told me lol.</p>
<p>@clamfest</p>
<p>what did they tell you?</p>
<p>@UCDrone, yeah maybe…but honestly, that just worries me more. they shouldn’t be confusing apps lol. we’re in the same boat; i’m getting super anxious. </p>
<p>@silvertongues, yeah UCI is my first choice. it’s literally 10 minutes away from my job and I have to work full time in order to survive school so I need to go to a UC close to here! Did you already SIR?</p>
<p>have any TAGs been accepted who did not qualify for regents?</p>
<p>^ that’s right! I forgot, it was regent’s that were accepted…</p>
<p>@fkhan0</p>
<p>You’d be surprised you may get a grant. I didn’t qualify for financial aid, but UCSD gave me a UCSD grant that covers everything past my EFC. I live like 6 miles away from the UCI campus</p>
<p>@ucdrone I tagged but I think I was accepted because I was offered regent’s. I was also accepted to UCSD but I’m definitely not going there. If I get into UCLA, it will be between that or UCI. A really tough choice :(</p>
<p>@fkhan0 I haven’t SIRed yet, still have to hear back from the rest of the schools I applied to and take tours and look at financial aid, that sort of thing.</p>
<p>Sent from my SGH-T999 using CC</p>
<p>Yeah, so I’m holding on to the hope that all us non-regent TAGs will be notified very soon!!</p>
<p>@UCdrone, I do qualify for financial aid, thank goodness. I also applied and was accepted to the CSUs in the area (Fullerton & Long Beach) and they are offering grants so I have high hopes from UCI as far as grants go.
Congrats on acceptance to UCSD btw! That one’s a toughie to get in to or so i’ve heard.</p>
<p>@ fkhan0 congrats on the CSU’s, especially Long Beach… that one is selective.</p>
<p>Thank you for the compliment on UCSD. </p>
<p>@ silvertongues</p>
<p>is there a reason you prefer UCI over UCSD?</p>
<p>@silver, that’s super exciting; good luck with all of that. (:</p>
<p>Hey everyone!</p>
<p>Still no word for us normal TAGg’ers huh?</p>
<p>Baah…this wait is ridiculous! I’ve been accepted into UCSD with plenty of financial aid. I am still waiting to hear from UCI though ): I understand a lot of people regard UCSD to be a better school in some ways, but I am still holding out hope for UCI. With my major, Computer Science (and engineering as a minor) I could go to either I suppose.</p>
<p>I just really want to hear back from them already UGH!</p>
<p>@ Lilimuth</p>
<p>Isn’t UCSD engineering program highly regarded nationwide? I guess the big question is, do the big players recruit at UCI or UCSD? I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Irvine area, I live in Irvine, and its not a college town; stuff closes early out here.</p>
<p>@UCDrone yea I’m a criminology law and society major the only reason I didnt tag was because i had like 33units from this and last semester together and 15 before summer were from AP credit so this is actually my first year out of highschool and i already finished an AA-T in psych, all the recommended (not required) pre-reqs, and IGETC</p>
<p>^ alright! I finally meet someone who’s a Criminology, law and society major. Have you looked into the Sociology, law and society major at San Diego, if so, what are your thoughts? That’s the major I’ll take, if I SIR to UCSD</p>
