Is TAG a guarantee?

I’m going to say yes.

I did TAG and I got into UCSD. All I had to do was meet with a counselor, sign a paper saying I understood the requirements and check off a box on my application. On my status, I have a provisional contract that lists the TAG requirements to keep my acceptance, etc.

I agree that many people just don’t know about or their CC/choice UC doesn’t offer it. The newly changed TAG for Fall 2009/Winter 2010 is INCREDIBLY SIMPLE, all you need is IGETC and a 3.0 UC GPA. This change is only temporary because they plan to rework it to make it more available or something - I expect it to be more complicated in the future, contracts from past years had nothing to do with IGETC and had many, many more requirements for TAG.
