On UCSD’s TAG page it says
“Both of the UC English courses and the UC math course must be completed by the end of Fall 2010, prior to Fall 2011 admission.”

The problem is, I have yet to take my first English course in the Fall. I’m taking it this Fall! So according to what UCSD says, I have to take BOTH of the English composition classes by the end Fall? The second English course is already full, however on the IGETC form (#1. Area B. Critical Thinking-English Composition), there’s a Philosophy class that can be substituted for this and that class isn’t full yet. So I can make this happen.

ALSO on the UC Irvine site (not transferring there, but still) it states that you are not eligible for TAG if you have your first UC-transferable English composition course in fall 2010.

SERIOUSLY? WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Also, is it just me or is UC Davis’s requirement much EASIER?
Here’s what theirs says:

"You must complete the following UC eligibility requirements in English and math with grades of C or better:

two transferable college courses (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in English composition
one transferable college course (3 semester or 4-5 quarter units) in mathematical concepts or quantitative reasoning
You must also complete four transferable courses with grades of C or better from at least two of the following subject areas:

arts and humanities
social and behavioral sciences
physical and biological sciences"
