<p>I wish I could sign a TAP with Berkeley…but I dont meet any of their reqs.
I think it was…</p>

<p>-Low Income Family
-First gen. college
-URM</p>

423

<p>What does URM mean? Goodness. I’m clueless.</p>

<p>And Jen, Thanks for the clarification. Still doesn’t benefit me, thought :frowning: I should’ve stayed in LA! Yeah right ;)</p>

424

<p>Under Represented Minority = African Americans, American Indians, etc.</p>

425

<p>asians = super-duper-hella-overly represented. :P</p>

426

<p>evan . . not trying to sadden u . . but damn it sucks . . </p>

<p>i need to do tap for berkeley . … taking one class at smc. . </p>

<p>but is being persian considered under represented minority?</p>

427

<p>Lol no, Persians are not URM. Basically its African Americans, American Indians, and I think some part Latinos. The TAP for Berkeley isn’t like UCLA where you can just sign it, you have to meet the requirements I posted earlier. You don’t take specific TAP classes for it either. </p>

<p>Erikuh: lol True… We would’ve been URM 20 years ago though.</p>

428

<p>I don’t think Persian falls under.</p>

429

<p>Just so that you guys are aware, I was accepted into Berkeley’s TAP program and I am as white as they come (almost full Irish). I made $19k in 2008 and I am a independent student (28 years old). They are basically looking for people with very high GPAs and for people that wouldn’t normally have the resources/opportunity to go to a school like Berkeley. If your school is affiliated, just apply and see what happens. I am pretty much convinced that the reason I was accepted is because I am a TAP student.</p>

<p>DAMN! San diego needs to hop on the UCB TAP program </p>

<p><em>shakes fist</em></p>

<p>Hey fall 10’ UC transfers…I need advice! </p>

<p>OK, so my plan for this fall is fulfilling my required math course(statistics), my last pre req. for my major (anthro.), my second/last required English course (Critical thinking), and my lab science requirement (Physical Science), and maybe an 8 week course (psychology)-that can give me one last opportunity to raise my GPA for my UC apps. That would give me 14 units, or 17 if i decide to take that additional 8 week course. </p>

<p>The question is: how imperative is it that i finish my IGETC requirements this fall during the application process? Should i maybe move my Lab science to next spring to lighten my work load and ensure A’s for the fall, or should i spread it out a little. My only concern is the UC’s wanting to see my IGETC in the process of being finished, but i want to make sure I will get A’s too. Thoughts!!!??? I hope you are able to follow this, i appreciate any advice. </p>

<p>BTW: I’m an anthro major with a 3.4 wanting to transfer to UCLA.</p>

432

<p>so do i contact ucb for tap or smc? does it matter i am only taking one class at smc and the rest at occ?</p>

433

<p>jbustos- where are you transferring from?</p>

434

<p>Golden West college in Huntington Beach, they do not offer TAP.</p>

435

<p>jbustos: You can put off the lab science til Spring. I know two of my friends (going to UCLA and Cal Spring) put off their physical science requirement til then. </p>

<p>If you want to boost up your gpa in Fall you can, but I wouldn’t take a fluff class. And make sure you DON’T fail that science class during the Spring. </p>

<p>Have you done biological anthro yet? You could do the lab with that, plus it’s a pre-requisite. </p>

<p>Either way, hopefully we’ll both get into UCLA Anthro together :D</p>

436

<p>Erikuh, i’m taking my physical anthro. this summer, then archaeology this fall. I’m also taking statistics, english110, abnormal psych., & intro to psych. in the fall. That will leave me with only my lab science left for the spring as far as my IGETC and pre-reqs go. I can take it nice and easy and focus in on that lab, should be good. </p>

<p>I want to fast forward to next spring already!</p>

437

<p>Hi all~ </p>

<p>My name is Yuna and I am a fall '10 transfer as a Psychology major. I am hoping to get into Cal! nice that this has started already…thank you! Can’t wait until October to start the application process~</p>

438

<p>kind of looking foward to this fall semester…just need to stick it out until december and then…it wont be up to me anymore :slight_smile: woooo!</p>

439

<p>I’m looking forward to fall semester too. </p>

<p>I have a board position in a club I enjoy and my classes are either 8-12:30 or 8-10:50 rather than the 9:30AM-9:45PM tuesday/thursday torture I have right now. </p>

<p>Also, everyone should watch the new Pixar movie, “Up”. It was really good // Toy Story 3 is coming out NEXT YEAR! haha…I’m still a little kid when it comes to these movies.</p>

440
