<p>-Guaranteed priority consideration for admission to the College of Letters and Science. (Impacted majors will likely require higher than a 3.0 GPA and completion of all preparation courses for the major with “A”s and “B”s.)</p>
<p>-Several scholarships selected from the community college TAP applicants.</p>
<p>-Courtesy library card to the main undergraduate library at UCLA.</p>
<p>-Complimentary opportunities to attend academic, cultural, and/or athletic events at UCLA.</p>
<p>-Access to the Scholarship Resource Center.</p>
<p>-Consideration for both first choice and second choice major.</p>
<p>You have to get the form to get the library card and then take it to a certain office. Is was kind of a pain and I didn’t end up checking anything out anyway. </p>
<p>At CAL, you can’t even get in their library without a CAL student ID.</p>
<p>Same, i’m going to take this summer off for sure…like you, I always took a class or two during the past summers. I wish they (UCSD) let you take physics off campus. I know someone who is doing it and he easily earned an A. </p>
<p>Anyways, have you been accepted to Davis yet?</p>
<p>I was just wondering, will it ruin my chances to UCLA since I don’t have TAP? I never knew about such programs…only heared about the Honors one…since I don’t have any honors classes I can’t qualify there anyways.</p>
<p>I’m a transfer student looking to get into CAL and UCLA. 3.9GPA Architecture Major. </p>
<p>I too have not heard or received any emails from UCLA. I got worried and called their head of department and found out that they’ve already made their decisions on admission. They also told me that I am 2 months late on submitting my profolio and that they sent out email requests to all applicants for their profolio submission back in January. </p>
<p>Throughout the whole application process, UCLA had never sent me any emails or any other forms of contact, now I’m frustrated and not sure what to do. I’d also asked a few other classmates of mine who were also applying to UCLA for architecture, and none of them received any forms of contact as well. I’m deciding to go to my architecture professor and seek his advice.
If this is happening to more people, please post your comments.</p>
<p>Wow ashleysc, that’s interesting that they already made decisions for architecture majors. And being 2 months late is a big ouch; goodluck to you anyways.</p>
<p>Hey, hey. sorry to stir up such a conversation.
Yes, yes it’s true that they do offer you all those greeeeatttt resources but in terms of getting in, as far as everyone is concerned, TAP is pretty much only good to get considered for two majors instead of one.
I’m sorry, i’m a realist (or just extremely cynical) just don’t want to hype myself up for rejection. :/</p>
<p>But yeah, at SMC to get the UCLA library card you just ask your scholars counselor and he will provide you with the forms.<br>
The only time I needed to use it, I couldn’t, because you can only use your card at Powell (without paying) and all my books I needed were at Young.
le sigh.
er, what else…so yeah, the word “priority consideration” should make you feel better though (my optimist side coming out )</p>
<p>Priority consideration is a big thing. It’s something that non-tap applicants don’t have. So, even being realistic, I’d say TAP is more than just a 2nd UCLA application.</p>
<p>If it wasn’t for “priority consideration” I would sleep even less than I do! </p>
<p>I think it helps out most for people who have on the fence GPA’s. From what I have heard it pushes those over the fence into the accepted category. </p>
<p>Although, I have a 3.82 and from everything I hear, I am not in the upper tier of GPA’s…</p>
<p>ashley, contact people at the UC’s!!! Asking your architecture professor may help, but it’s a roundabout method. Call your UC rep, call the hotline, e-mail various people in admissions. Resolve the problem at its source… If you were legitimately unaware of a portolio requirement, then you have all the right to ask for a re-review of your application with your portfolio that is to-be-sent in.</p>
<p>verdet…
can you be more specific about which CAL library that will not let you in w/out a reg card? CAL has more than one library and I study there often w/out a reg card except the law library.</p>
<p>Moffet library (spelling may be wrong) requires ID when you walk in the door in order to get past the tunnr style you must have ID. Unless they changed their policy since summer, you need ID</p>
<p>I also applied to CAL and UCLA for architecture. I received an email from UCLA before the due date of the portfolio. I received it around 2-3 weeks prior to the January 17, 2007 (maybe I received it around December).</p>
<p>Is there anyway we can call the department and find out the acceptance yet or do we have to wait until the letters get out? Is there a website where we can just check like UCSD</p>
<p>Someone from berkeley emailed me about sending them my winter 2007 grades by March 27th. The problem is my school is in the quarter system??? They have a number listed and I called it but no one has picked up.</p>
<p>I guess I’ll try emailing them.</p>
<p>Whats this mean??!?!?! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh</p>
<p>EDIT: update, I got through to her on the phone and she told me to get it in by March 30th which is the last day of the quarter for me. I will have to speak to my professors to find out my grade but i think it’s possible.</p>
