work and school

<p>ok so yesterday my employer gave my w2 and i have made this past year ~20,000$ while attending college now i have asked before if colleges consider work as a part of ec's and i was told they do now do you think that the colleges will see this as a huge bones ? that i a college student made around 20000~ while i am also a full time student ? i am 18 btw.. oh and i was thinking about writing my essays next year about how my dad would not pay for my college education.. and thats why i have 3 jobs and i am saving up money and stuff for college ? and one more question.. i am i recently heard about ucb tap program now i have been looking all over the place for some info but i cant find any i wondered if anyone could tell me anything bout this that program and does it help science majors or is it like the ucla tap which doesnt help science majors..?</p>

<p>thanks..</p>

<li><p>Schools wont care how much you made nor be impressed by it. However, on your application you can list how many hours a week you work (this, they may be impressed by).</p></li>
<li><p>That can be a good topic to talk about in your PS! Write about what motivates you! Which is an education and your financial needs!</p></li>
<li><p>UCB TAP <em>comes</em> to the student. Generally, students within a certain region will be contacted right after high school and will be offered a spot in the program. These students are of low income households and have performed well in high school. </p></li>
<li><p>TAP offers help for all majors. TAP is not an acceptance guarantee nor does it give priority, rather, it is a support program that plans and advices the students during their transfer journey. TAP students generally have a higher acceptance rate, but once again, this is not due to a priority. TAP students usually have solid applications because of the support TAP provides to them. </p></li>
<li><p>I do not have a TAP contact for you. </p></li>
