TAP for UCLA worth it?

So I attend a CCC and have some honors units. To be TAP certified, I need 15 more honors units which translates to roughly about 5 classes. I will be a second semester freshman. My problem is that my major is impacted and not eligible for TAP and I do not desire to have an alternate major. Wouldn’t this render TAP useless? I mean, obviously it would look better if I took honors classes but for the most part the higher acceptance rate through TAP won’t take affect since my major is impacted.

In other words:
Should I risk lower grades by taking honors classes and getting TAP certified even though my major won’t be affected? If I just take my IGETC classes and Major Prereqs non-honors I am sure I can get a 3.9. If I were to take the remaining honors units I predict a 3.5-3.7 most likely.
