UCLA TAP scholarship

<p>did anyone else apply for this?</p>

<p>meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee</p>

<p>yeah i heard its super hard to get</p>

<p>i am going to pretend you didnt say that and just keep telling myself that i deserve it ; )</p>

<p>how hard is super hard…</p>

<p>they only chose 27 people for the scholarship. :(</p>

<p>has anyone recieved this yet?</p>

<p>what exactly is TAP?</p>

<p>TAP is essentially a 15-18 unit Honors curriculum of classes. Once you have completed TAP and have become TAP certified you will receive priority consideration for your UC applications. TAP adds a “weight” to your GPA. A TAP applicant with the same GPA as a non-TAP applicant will have better chances of admission than the non-TAP applicant. </p>

<p>you also get to choose a backup major at UCLA.</p>

<p>where is the list of the classes needed.</p>

<p>depends on your college. some schools do not even offer TAP. </p>

<p>at my college you can pick any Honors classes to fulfill the 15-18 units (Exact unit requirement depends on your college too) but it is best to choose classes that will simultaneously count for TAP + IGETC and/or major pre-reqs.</p>

<p>ask a counselor or the head of the honors program at your school to see if they offer TAP.</p>

<p>so i am guessing no one has recieved it then.the application said we would be notified “on or before june 18th”.</p>

<p>i loved the honors program at my school. we had to do 15-20 page research papers for each honors class. it really took my writing up a notch, lol.</p>

<p>i think it said july 18th…</p>

<p>“By Monday, July 18, 2011
Applicants are notified of their status - those who receive a scholarship as well as those who do not.”</p>
