I am going to be a sophomore this upcoming year at a California CC (California resident) who transferred from a cal state and have a 3.8 after freshman year , am going to try get that to a at least 3.9 (as if i had a choice) this year to of course be competitive but … my question is, am i doomed if I don’t do TAP. I will have working experience in corporate finance, community service, letters of rec and of course do my best to kill the essay, but will none of that matter if i don’t get TAP for i am starting at my CC of course since i just transferred with no honors courses (my fault) but if i can pull off getting 15 units of honors courses and getting through TAP is it worth it ? or should i try and focus on the pre-reqs i need and focus on getting A’s in those.
Basically can i get into UCLA Bus-Econ without TAP and good grades and EC stuff ?
