Where to transfer from

<p>I did not get into The three UC's I applied to, Cal, UCLA, and UCD, nor did I get into USC, so I was wondering what path I should take! USC is my top choice and UCLA is second! I am in the ELC program so I could get into a lower ranked UC or I could go to a Community College and make a tag! First, I was wondering exactly what a tag is, is it a guranteed acceptance or just the best route to take in a CC? Second, which UC's have a tag program, and Does USC have a tag program? Third, which UC do you think I'd get placed in through the ELC program, and lastly, in your personal opinions, which route should I take!
More info:
I was an honors student throughout most of HS (except sophomore year really killed me, wasn't motivated), in the top 10 percent, did really bad on my SATs: 1690, had good extra curriculars, clubs, two years of a sport, volunteer work, not sure if my college personal statements were good or not,</p>
