Fall 2014 TAG thread

She said if I had course changes, I would no longer be guaranteed under the TAG, but my admission would be high probable for regular admission.

So, after inquiring about the specifics of how changing a course once the TAG has been approved affect the TAG, the admissions rep emailed me back with:

Any schedule changes to the TAG, does Void the TAG.

Okay, right, that’s what we understand to be technically true . . .

However, if you make the change to your courses and otherwise continue to do what you listed on your TAG application, you will be admitted to UC and your major department.

So, the TAG is void, but they still honor it? Why void it in the first place then?

Any student who had a denied TAG or did not apply for a TAG will be admitted to UC if they meet the TAG criteria at the time of their UC Application.

Wait, what? So I could have not even filed a TAG, just known that I met the TAG criteria by the time of my regular UC App (which I obviously would have since I have an approved TAG) and still be guaranteed admission? Why did I submit a TAG then?</p>

<p>Anyway, bottom line is that it appears any course changes do (technically, according to the TAG agreement we signed) void the TAG, but the UC disregards that fact anyway so long as the rest of the TAG is followed through (required courses for the major completed, GPA req, unit req, and no grades below ‘C’).</p>
