<p>Does anyone know why De Anza does not have UCLA's TAP program? I have always thought of De Anza to be the South Bay's premier CC and had no idea about TAP until I joined this board. It doesn't matter for me now because it's too late, but I was just curious if anyone has an answer or reasoning for this. I mean, no offense to anyone, but even West Valley has TAP....</p>
<p>yea many go to foothill to do TAP
but de anza puts in 200~ xfer students per year which is incredible
i guess the majority don't need it (very high gpa)</p>
<p>That's really unfortunate for me, but great news for incoming classes. Good to see that De Anza did something about this.</p>
<p>For me too
I'm going to de anza for next year and this summer
and don't really want to go to foothill just to do TAP</p>

<p>Thats not good at all. Deanza has about 22000 students. Which means less than 1% of DA students gets in.</p>
<p>there are only 2 CC's in california that put more students in UCLA
and they are nowhere near Norcal
de anza is the place to be if you don't live in socal</p>
<p>I don't think it requires that much mental effort to consider that not all 22,000 students apply to UCLA, apply at the same time, or even plan to transfer.</p>
<p>Regardless, it's really not the school that has much of anything to do with how many students get into UCLA, as much as it is the students. If anything, transferring from De Anza for any given individual may be more difficult than from another school since our math/science classes are usually harder.</p>
<p>kmzizzle: what are the "CC's in california that put more students in UCLA" by any chance? just curious</p>
<p>pasadena & santa monica</p>
<p>there are A LOT in socal that put a good # in
but those 2 put more in as of last year</p>
<p>oh, ic. Thanks kmzizzle</p>
<p>I would think they have more transfers per year to ucla because of there location being in socal, closer to ucla.</p>

<p>True. I think its mostly because of the international students( Asians from those countries are usually very strong in math and science). But I also think that its totally uncalled for because students are being fail for courses that they would have passed had they gone somewhere else. And I don't know to what extent do the UCs consider grade inflation.</p>
<p>yeah, I always found it super weird that my school (DVC) didn't offer the TAP program considering it's stature as a huge transfer college.</p>
