<p>I think that UCLA and Cal both use holistic processes but Cal does more so. I was admitted to both schools with a well below average GPA. Having TAP at Cal probably pushed me over the edge, but I am a perfect sentiment to you don’t need a perfect GPA to get into amazing schools!</p>
<p>I feel like there was never an overall admissions rejections thread where we say all the schools instead of just specifics… Nick?</p>
<p>ella89- how do get TAP certification for Cal? Is it the same as TAP for UCLA?</p>
<p>No, TAP at Cal is for low-income, first-gens,(minorities… shhhh), who have demonstrated an ability to overcome hardships basically. Its only at 9 schools in CA, but that doesnt mean much since it’s not at my school, and I’m still in the program.</p>
<p>Oh yea, my friend has a 3.2 GPA for latin american studes and got into Cal by being in their TAP program.</p>
<p>He also got into UCLA with their TAP program as well. He was a first generation college student.</p>
<p>@Pinoiako916 I mentioned that I took Anthro 103 at West LA and how it’s not articulated, but previous UCLA transfers have petitioned for it to cover the Anthro 33 pre-req @ UCLA.</p>
<p>=)</p>
<p>Yeah, Cal TAP is awesome. I didn’t complete the honors classes for UCLA. I want to submit my SIR but im waiting for my spring semester schedule changes to <em>hopefully</em> be approved.</p>
<p>ella89- i should have told my other friend about Cal TAP program. She tried applying as an anthro major with a 3.02 gpa to Berkeley.</p>
<p>She got accepted to UC Davis, UCSC but got denied by UCLA and Berkeley.</p>
<p>For those of you who got accepted into any UC school, did you receive a letter confirming their decision? Did your letter come before or after the e-mail response?</p>
<p>I STILL haven’t heard anything from UC Irvine.

<p>Hey, ella, I am curious how were you in CAL Tap if it’s not offered at occ?</p>
