<p>Hi all. I am planning to tag into ucsb econ. Ive taken most igetc classes ...the hard ones r out the way! </p>
<p>What gpa do i need for my econ majornrelated classes to transferr only as an econ major?</p>
<p>At least a 2.75 with no individual grade less than a C in major pre-reqs.</p>
<p>From assist.org:</p>
<p>“Transfer students who wish to declare the Economics pre-major must complete the
following courses with a 2.75 grade-point average, with no individual grade less
than “C”: microeconomics, macroeconomics, and one of the two options; one<br>
calculus course and one statistics course or two calculus courses (see below).”</p>
<p>Also, keep in mind that you are admitted to the pre-major at UCSB. Admission to the full major is not guaranteed:</p>
<p>“Students are admitted initially to the pre-major. Admission into the full major
is contingent upon completion of pre-major courses with a grade point average of
2.85 or above in any remaining pre-major courses completed at the University of
California and with no grade lower than C. Note that UCSB’s Writing 109 must be
completed with a grade of “C” or higher but will not be used in computing the<br>
pre-major GPA.”</p>
<p>There will be one class at UCSB that you will have to take (ECON 10A) and get at least a B (not a B-) to be granted admission to the full major. If you do not get at least a solid B in that class, you will not be able to be an Economics major. </p>
<p>All of these requirements apply to the Economics & Accounting major at UCSB as well.</p>
<p>My friend told me he had a 3.4 …
But a 3.167 in his major pre reqs and didnt get in…i thought it was 2.75 for all majors so i got scared</p>
<p>Are you going to TAG? If this is your first choice, you should. Also, keep n mind that admission to the full major will still not be guaranteed as I listed above.</p>
<p>Yes im going to tag. And by notnguaranteed u mean that if i dont get a B in that one class…and if i do get a b im guaranteed?</p>
<p>My friend tagged with a 3.4 but didnt get in with a major pre req of 3.16…
Why is that?</p>
<p>I dunno? He obviously didn’t apply with all necessary coursework completed. It isn’t too hard: IGETC or GE Breadth done by end of Spring + 60 units by end of Spring + English and Math minimum requirements done by Fall + major pre-reqs done by end of Spring + TAG conditions = acceptance into UCSB Econ/Accounting major.</p>
<p>Im scared ****less ucsb is mydeam…</p>
<p>I have a 3.17 overall and 3.0 alltogether in stats and econ 102…i need econ 101 and 2 more math courses…if i get overall gpa to 3.2 or more and keep pre reqs up at 3.0 or more…am i solid? Still have 30 or so units left barely entering sophmore year</p>
<p>Yes, unfortunately that means if you do not get a B or higher in that one class, you will not be able to be an Economics major or an Economics & Accounting major. You also will not be allowed to repeat the class unless you failed it the first time around. This is at least the policy for now.</p>
<p>Okay, I need one last thing please!</p>
<p>I am looking at the major sheets on my CC website and it says you need Econ 101, 102</p>
<p>and for math it says I need MATH 136, 112 or 103 and 104…</p>
<p>however, for Economics and Accounting… I would need Math 136, 103, 104 or 112</p>
<p>so my problem is that I still need to take math 110 or 102 to gain entry into math 103…which will lead me to 104.</p>
<p>should I bite the dust and do economics 112 and do a regular econ major or stick with econ and accounting…</p>
<p>FOr the major i am taking econ 101 and Acct 101 right now… but again, Im a sophmore in CCC and I still havent taken math 103 and 104…i am 1 class away from math 103 and 2 classes away from 104 as of RIGHT NOW…</p>
<p>am i screwed or do i have plenty of time?</p>
<p>Just follow what ASSIST says about your major.</p>
<p>For UCSB:</p>
<p>You need Microecon, Macroecon, one Stats course, and one Calculus course </p>
<p>OR</p>
<p>Microecon, Macroecon, and TWO calculus courses.</p>
<p>This applies to both the Econ major and the Econ with emphasis in Accounting major.</p>
<p>But my main concern is…do i have time? Im starting sophmore next week. By then rnt i submitting my application? This aemester i didnt take math besides acctg</p>
<p>If you can take those 2 math classes by the end of spring then you can still TAG. However, if you are missing a prerequisite by the end of spring, you will not fulfill TAG and your application will go through regular admissions. All the info is in this link. </p>
<p><a href=“http://admissions.sa.ucsb.edu/pdf/UCSB%20Fall%202013%20TAG.pdf[/url]”>http://admissions.sa.ucsb.edu/pdf/UCSB%20Fall%202013%20TAG.pdf</a></p>
<p>Also I want to mention that even though admission is 2.75 you must have a 3.2 or higher by the end of Fall 2012. You must also maintain that through spring 2013. This is strictly for econ/econ + accounting. It might apply for others, I dont know. I know for econ it is 3.2. </p>
<p>As long as you have a 3.2, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Statistics and Calculus or two Calculus courses in which you achieved no lower than a ‘C’ and a 2.75+ average, you can TAG. </p>
<p>Lastly, the TAG does not guarantee entry into the major. You can be accepted for TAG yet denied for entry into the major if they deem you not competitive enough.</p>
<p>^^^To be clear, if you meet the TAG requirement for the Econ or Econ/Accounting major, you will be admitted into the PRE-major at UCSB. There, you’ll have to take the remaining few classes and earn a minimum 2.85 in those classes. Then you’ll be admitted into the full major.</p>
<p>I didn’t know that, thank you.</p>
