<p>Has anyone here been or know anyone who has been rejected with TAP to UCLA?
I'm applying next year but my GPA isn't looking as great as I wanted it to due to some circumstances and now I'm freaking out. Yes, I am in the TAP Honors Program and, yes, I've heard of and seen the statistics, but with all the competition, you never know...</p>
<p>Please let me know! (:</p>
<p>I wondering that too! I’ll actually know in a few days so we’ll find out.</p>
<p>I’ve never personally heard of anyone who has, but according to stats some do. They say around 80%-90% of TAP people get in I think at most CCCs</p>
<p>don’t even worry about it</p>
<p>so it could perhaps be inferred that if you are in within the top 80-90 percentile of TAP students, GPA, IGETC, and Major Prerequisite-wise, you are pretty much in.</p>
<p>Although this of course may definitely not hold true which is why i put “perhaps”</p>
<p>Only stories I’ve seen on this website have been biz-econ people with TAP rejected.</p>
<p>People with TAP + coherent essays + GPA = or > average + all pre-reqs done have nothing to worry about.</p>
<p>Of course there are people rejected with TAP, it’s not 100% guaranteed!!! But it’s a very tiny percentage, don’t think you guys are unlucky enough to fall into that category, lolz… best of luck!</p>
<p>Wait . . . the essays were supposed to be coherent??!</p>
<p>TAP doesn’t have a 100% success rate. Therefore, there HAS to be someone with a TAP who gets rejected. Just because they don’t post on this forum doesn’t mean they don’t exist. But I do agree you would have to go out of your way in order to achieve a TAP and rejection.</p>
<p>@FeeFee: I think so, being TAP certified doesn’t mean you can get in with sloppy essays. UCLA DO read them! :)</p>
<p>Yeah, I just found out about the coherence thing too.</p>
<p>I hAd OrIgInAlLy PlAnNeD oN wRiTiNg ThEm In ThIs FoRmAt as well as throwing in a couple numbers and smiley faces to jazz it up. </p>
<p>:/ boo.</p>
<p>I was kidding. But I wonder if they judge English majors harsher on their essays . . .</p>
<p>I believe all applicants are reviewed holistically.</p>
<p>let’s put it this way, they don’t judge your essays, they just read them in comparison with other English majors’ essays 
lolz… (jk)</p>
<p>I believe you meant HARSHLY… I would be worried!!</p>
<p>JK, JK…</p>
<p>i know couple people with 4.0 and TAP that got rejected</p>
<p>TAP is NOT a guarantee, although like 90-95% of those with TAP gets in</p>
<p>@conn1ex3: why were they rejected??? I can’t imagine!</p>
<p>^ idk, the uc system hates them? i have no idea but i just remember them going ballistic about it. it was so sad … just pray that u got in.</p>
<p>It mostly happens to the impacted majors though which just don’t have enough spots to take on all TAP students with at least the minimum GPA and students they think are UCLA-worthy. But TAP def is a plus. I think I saw a Biz Econ major with a 3.68 get in with TAP.</p>
<p>^ true, most of the time its that … but one of them was majoring in philsophy 4.0 TAP. I didnt think philosophy was an impacted major. If it was biz econ, bio, communications or something then it would have been understandable, but philo? seriously? lol</p>
<p>really? maybe his/her TAP form didn’t go through 
idk, that’s just weird.</p>
