Question about UCI's requirements

<p>There are two different columns for the UCI TAG requirements as listed on their page: [Transfer</a> Admission, Selection and Preparation](<a href=“Academic Resources | Office of Undergraduate Admissions | UCI”>Academic Resources | Office of Undergraduate Admissions | UCI)</p>

<p>One column lists required courses and one that lists recommended courses. I know that the required courses must be completed prior to transfer, but how important are the recommended courses?</p>
