also is Tap worth packing up and moving 80 miles away to finish up the remainder of my CC.

I got a C in spanish my 1st year, will that nullify my chances to getting in, One C for a 5 unit class and a few B's = like 3.5-3.6 seems like I'm screwed
If you are REALLY set on going to UCLA, I would say it'd be worth it for you to pursue TAP at that other CC. In the UC Decisions thread from last year, someone reported getting into UCLA as busecon major with a 3.5ish w/ TAP. Obviously that doesn't guarantee much for future applicants, but it's a good measurement of the effectiveness of TAP. With TAP, I wouldn't worry too much about one C.

With all that said, try bringing your GPA up this year so that you'll be a more competitive candidate. Also, shoot for high grades in your major prerequisites.

Also this Community college has a program where they pay for you to go to Ucla for one week, to take classes to see how everything works, anyone ever hear of that? (mind you a counselor told me this )
I haven't heard of it, but it seems like a legitimate program to list as an E.C. or something similar. And getting paid is always nice
