UCSD TAG Applicant

[Marmaneous]

<p>Hey all,
So this last fall I applied to UCSD as TAG student and was accepted to be a part of the TAG program as a MCB (Molecular and Cell Biology) major. I just submitted the classes I will be taking this spring, the same ones I planned to take when I submitted my application. My school (PCC) has been going through a transitional period from semester system to trimester system where they combine winter and summer sessions into one. I was curious as to if I can take a class or two in this session that will be added to my transfer transcript. Because of our no-winter-session we started spring already and will end very early. Also, for TAG I will be meeting the minimum requirements for the program which is finishing IGETC and the minimum GPA. My major is a very high unit major and requires a lot of additional courses on top of the my GE's. By the end of this spring I would still be missing:</p>

<p>2 Semesters of Physics
2 Semesters of Biology
1 Semester of General Chemistry
2 Semesters of Organic Chemistry
1 Semester of Calculus (Calc C)</p>

<p>Did they take this into consideration when I applied as a TAG student or will that factor into my acceptance now? I guess what I am trying to ask, is do they know I'm going to not have these classes done by spring or did they just accept my TAG because I will be able to finish the minimum requirements for the program regardless of my major. Thanks to anyone who is reading this!</p>

<p>TAG does NOT guarantee your major at UCSD. As far as I’m aware, the biology department is not impacted so you should have no problem getting in. </p>

<p>Keep in mind I’m just a prospective transfer as well, these kind of questions are best suited for a counselor at your school or the admissions office at UCSD!</p>
