<p>Hello guys,</p>

<p>New member here! </p>

<p>I'm applying for TAG by the end of the month, however I face a dilemma. I don't know where I should TAG to?</p>

<p>I want to go to UCSD, my major being Structural Engineering (SE) which is NON-impacted. My GPA is currently a 3.45 but by the end of the fall semester I can bring it up to a 3.5. I would have taken all my math courses and chem courses by the Spring 2012 (except Physics 4b, which I will take in the summer) and Physics 4c which i will not have enough time to finish.</p>

<p>Now, my question is should I chance it and TAG to UCSD or should I be "safe" and TAG to UCI for civil engineering which requires a 3.2 GPA and civil engineering is NON-impacted as well.</p>

<p>My top choice is UCSD but I am afraid that I won't get in. I am a third year community college transfer and I'm scared that I'm going to have to stay another year if I don't get in :( </p>

<p>Please advise me on what you think would be the best course of action for me to take.</p>

<p>Wait a second. What classes are you taking? If they are easy A classes, then go for it. If not, stick with UCI.</p>

<p>Fall 2011: Linear Algebra, Arabic 2, Statistics, C Programming.</p>

<p>Spring 2012: Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Physics 4a</p>

<p>You should TAG to UCI as backup. Then apply regularly to UCSD and hope you get in.</p>

<p>I talked to UCI admissions today and apparently other than getting priority review of your application TAG doesn’t really do anything else in terms of a “guaranteed acceptance”.</p>

<p>Well then, the name “transfer admission guarantee” is pretty misleading then.</p>
