TAP for UCLA worth it?

“My problem is that my major is impacted and not eligible for TAP”

The priority admissions you get through TAP does count towards your first choice major, even if it is impacted. They just say your alternate can’t be impacted, but your first choice can be impacted.

Most of that honors credits can be fulfilled by taking other course like bio, chem, calculus, etc(at least that is how my CC does it). You already have some honors credit, some will be fulfilled if you take physics, chem or calc(specific courses will change per school I’m sure). Given that, then you only have to take 2-3 courses depending on class. In my case I took calc1 and calc2 and they counted. That would be 10units right there, although my school just goes by the number of classes instead of units.

Also, if you are a 3.9 kind of student, honors courses is not much of a risk at all. Honors classes usually mean an extra essay, or project. It isn’t much. I took intro to anthro, int. relations poli sci, and world music. All honors, all just as much work as other classes, I didn’t even notice a difference really.

I don’t know why I did all the work though, I’m not even going to UCLA lol. But anyway, I say go for it endphase.
