My daughter is a TAG applicant for UCSB, she received the following letter:</p>

<p>A World of Opportunity Awaits</p>

<p>The Office of Admissions at UC Santa Barbara is currently reviewing the Transfer Admissions Guarantee (TAG) applications received for fall 2014. </p>

<p>While your application to UCSB is under review, you are likely planning for and researching potential opportunities at UCSB. We are pleased to keep you informed of some exciting options that are available to UCSB students. </p>

<p>Among the many benefits of attending UCSB is the option to study abroad through the University’s official and integrated program. The UC Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) enables you to start earning UC credit and advancing in your major in one of 42 countries worldwide. </p>

<p>While remaining enrolled at UCSB, you can experience new cultures, learn a new language, and gain practical professional training through research or internships. UC financial aid travels with you, and you may access study abroad scholarships.</p>

<p>How to Get Started:
Applications for summer, fall, and year terms are open now for UCEAP programs across Europe and the UK, Asia, Africa, and South America, and you can go abroad as early as summer 2014. To get started, review the following resources for UCSB transfers:
How to Study Abroad with UC
Application Due Dates
Transfer Student fact sheet and web page on study abroad benefits and requirements
Provisions including fee waivers and deadline extensions are available for all UC TAG transfer students. We encourage you to contact our expert study abroad advisors at UCSB to learn how you can enrich your UC studies this year! </p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Jean-Xavier Guinard
UCEAP Associate Vice Provost and Executive Director

<p>I tagged UCSB as well. Weird that I got that email only a a few hours after making this thread! It answered a lot of questions I had but nonetheless it would still be nice to possibly hear from someone on this site who has gone through the same process.</p>
