<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>
