<p>TAG is still there, the requirements are just higher. Transfers must have a 3.5 instead of the old 3.0. Guaranteed admission into UCSD with a 3.0 was an absolute steal for CC students and it got out of hand. But I believe TAG will be gone after the next application cycle (Fall 2014). Pretty sure. </p>
<p>TAG stands for transfer admission guarantee. You’re guaranteed admission into a UC from a community college if you meet certain prerequisites and a specific min. GPA. UC Berkeley and UCLA don’t offer it and UCSD will stop offering it after the Fall 2014 cycle. I think UCSD is trying to switch to a more holistic approach. It’s a little tougher than it looks though. The prerequisites and GPA requirements vary by major/campus. Impacted majors are very strict.</p>
