I’m also an honors student, but didn’t take enough classes to get TAP
I’m also not sure how much the essays effect admissions. My additional statements essay focused on the two Cs I’ve gotten over the last year and a half. They were due to family health issues. I explained that I was almost solely responsible for taking care of my father when he had heart surgery…</p>
<p>Does anyone know whether in the past they’ve sent out an email a few days before the decision came out saying “your decision will be available ___”? Or do we literally just keep checking that site and one day it’ll have our admissions letter?</p>
<p>Pinoiako916 - TAP gives students a slight edge, but I feel like the best thing about TAP is the ability to choose an alternate major. Non-TAP students aren’t considered for an alternate major even if they click the box on the application.</p>
<p>Example: A TAP student with a 3.8 GPA can apply to Business Econ which is super competetive…and then pick Math/Econ as an alternate major. If they don’t get in Bus Econ they get a second shot at a non-impacted major.</p>
<p>Philosophy and Anthropology tend to be good alternate majors for social science majors applying to impacted majors like Sociology</p>
<p>Didn’t apply this year, but does anyone know if the transfer process is any easier for those looking to transfer from one UC to the other, say UCLA?</p>
<p>just wondering, when are we expected to get a response from ucla? i know it says late april but is there a date that we are expecting a response (based on previous years)? good luck to all of us!</p>
<p>If you access URSA you can see how far they have review your fafsa and this could be an indication of the pace of your application, for example I one of my friend’s showed me his URSA and under the FAFSA it tells you in what step it is. His has already been reviewed and the date said 04/15/11 which was this past friday but there are two other checkpoints that they still have to check. But this just lets you know that they just started checking the financial aids</p>
<p>Haven’t filed taxes yet, but I filed my FAFSA (therefore, I still need to correct them). I see nothing on my URSA, 3.8 TAP applicant (bizecon and philosophy)</p>
<p>Everyone can. I preemptively registered for several summer classes to get ahead in hopes that I’ll get in and already have 16 units from the summer.</p>
<p>Have you already been accepted to UCLA? I thought you were only able to see Fin.Aid awards after you’ve been admitted…or should it already be viewable regardless of status.</p>
