CCC not TAP certified

riot209 · 03-05-2008, 02:22 AM

I'm just curious, my school doesn't offer TAP yet it just started it's honor's program this year. My question is should I still apply for honors, and will it help my chances in getting into UCLA. Most likely I won't get a GPA 3.8+ so The tap program would really help

no need i dont think. just push your gpa higher! take random easy classes this summer. you're applying this coming november? and your school wont offer TAP by then?

No I should be transferring by next fall, the program for honors just started they said it will take up to three years for UCLA to recognize the Honor's program at my CCC. Well my main concern is with the budget cut's this year will dramatically affect the acceptance rate of 09-010 I'll try to up my GPA but If I don't get in what are some good back up schools for Business in California besides the obvious UCLA,BERK,USC, Stan

san diego state and UCR have good business schools

if ucla wont recognize the program, dont risk your gpa

ucla isnt exactly a business school though, you realize? you'll be doing econ or biz econ, not biz admin.

uci DOES also offer that biz econ major though. and they have a recognized biz school if you're looking to go MBA after ure undergrad.

OH i understand completely UCLA is biz econ and thats completely fine. SDSU better than UCSD?

well UCSD doesnt offer even biz econ, just normal econ. and afaik sdsu has biz admin. so apples vs oranges.

I want the UC experience though, Whats your take on UCI and davis? business prospect worthy compared to others.

UCD- its a marginal economics major not biz admin
UCI- Is suppose to be opening a Biz admin major for a B.A. this year.I'm not 100% sure someone correct me. I know they have an econ major.

UCI is starting a Biz Admin program. However for some weird reason they will not accept transfer students in that program yet.

econ or biz admin Doing the Igetci they both follow almost the same criteria for competition of lower division courses.

The question is what schools have ample amount of prospects and opportunities for jobs, not to mention quality education for an aspiring econ/business major. The schools that are note worthy to mention, not to mention the quality of life at these colleges. Econ/biz econ and biz admin alike it doesn't matter, they tend to follow the same criteria and regiment for the current curriculum patterns from the Igetci Preferably Biz econ would be most applicable. I come on here because this forum seems very informative for the local UC system. I wouldn't mind being a prodigy to my predecessors on this forum, the ones already attending undergrad biz/econ biz schools.
