Can anyone give me input on this program? I’ve also heard about the Phi Theta Kappa honors program. Are they both the same? Is it worth joining to help increase my chances of transferring to UC? Thank you
many UC campuses take part in TAG which is an admission guarantee. Start by seeing if the campus(es) you want take part in this.
Honors can slightly increase your chances, but your GPA is more important - a 4.0 without honors is better than a 3.6 with honors (skewed example, but you see my point). If you’re up to the challenge, then by all means, go ahead and enroll in honors classes.
Honor societies like PTK don’t matter much as a transfer. Do it if you want to, but it’s unlikely to bear much weight - unless you hold a leadership position, naturally.
