I don’t necessarily think TAG would assist me in any way b/c if I were to transfer to a UC I would try to transfer to UCSD, Berkeley, or LA which I believe don’t participate in the TAG program. I understand that research opportunities may be more difficult to come by if I haven’t built those relationships over the first 1-2 years I wasn’t there, however, it’s not impossible! With all that you’ve said in mind, I still think I’ll try out SJSU and if I really don’t feel like the school is for me I can always transfer.
