<p>Na, you’re not doomed at all if you’re not TAP certified. The overwhelming majority of admitted transfers don’t have TAP on their side.</p>

<p>Usually, they may have good GPAs and they do have the choice of alternate majors, but in order to be admitted in to your alternate major, you’d have to do most or all of the pre-reqs for it, so it doesn’t necessarily increase your chances of gaining admission. You’ll still have to do what you need to do to get in wit hyour alternate major just as everyone else does.</p>
<p>And again, in regards to GPAs, most TAP applicants are superbly qualified, but quite a few get in when they really wouldn’t have if they didn’t have TAP certification. If their TAP courses were truly challenging, then it’d be different, but I’d conjecture that most TAP programs don’t offer especially challenging courses.</p>
<p>90%+ admissions rates stretches my ability to believe they got in simply because they had good GPAs and had the choice of an alternate major, but that’s just my opinion.</p>
