<p>I know of one TAP certified girl last Fall who was rejected from UCLA. She had bad grades from SFSU before she came to Community College, causing her GPA (uc gpa I believe) to be under 3.0. After that incident, my school, City College of San Francisco, now requires all TAP students to have 3.0s.</p>
<p>TAP: Certified
GPA: Under 3.0
Major: Unknown
Status: Rejected</p>
<p>List the stats of people who were rejected from UCLA who were TAP certified.</p>
<p>I know a handful of students who were TAP certified at SMC and Pierce who were rejected. It was lack of prereqs.</p>
<p>Do all majors require all pre-reqs to be completed?</p>
<p>no. just very impacted ones.</p>
<p>Well, I am interested in some concrete stats on individuals.</p>
<p>ok, now you're just being obsessive, seriously!</p>
<p>Well I know that the School of Life Sciences at UCLA requires a year of general biology, a year of general chemistry, year of calculus, and starting for students applying for fall 2007, one semester of organic chemistry. Without any of these, you will pretty much get rejected and TAP cannot save you.</p>
<p>I don't have stats, sorry smith415.</p>
<p>not true!!! one of the main reasons why a student (should) be tap certified is to have his/her alternate major reviewed if her first major is rejected. but, for this, it means meeting the maj. req. for the alternate major while perhaps u don't have the maj. req. for ur first major finished.</p>
<p>also, i think if u have a real good excuse for not completing the major requirements (like the fact that ur school is too small to offer all the req. courses and the unfortuante chance that u live like 100 miles from the nearest ccc or a university) i think u should be okay if ur major is like kind of obscure, even without tap. maybe i'm wrong about this.</p>
<p>Good point sauron. For example one might put Business Economics as their first major, and Poli Sci as their alternate major because Poli Sci is easier to get into thatn BizEcon. If you are a TAP student it gives you more flexibility.</p>
<p>sauron: It is true. The school of life sciences will not consider anyone with below the minimum requirements. Check the UCLA transfer guide.</p>
<p>This is why I love CCC's. Sooo many options. I'm doing the TAP thing next year if I don't make it into college this year. It's almost like a guaranteed admit with good stats.</p>
<p>Tap dancing is dead.</p>
