For example, if a student wants to pursue Computer Science, say at UC Santa Cruz,

will going to a community college, and following this TAG plan, and getting a much higher than minimum required GPA, really guarantee them admission?

OR will they be up against a whole bunch of other transfer applicants with similar stats, and end up not getting accepted?

Please help! Trying to decide if it is better to go to a community college, apply for TAG, and transfer to UCSC,
OR just go to another four-year university where they are already a direct admit to Computer Science.

Thanks!
