<p>Although I know for a fact right now that I am not receiving honors credit, I will inform them after I get my decision.</p>
<p>As for me being a good student, I have a borderline GPA and good extra currics.</p>
<p>I think I will try to take an honors course in the summer so that I wont feel so bad for getting my un-earned TAP certification.</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>Sidekick, I’m in the exact same situation as you, and I informed them of the class that I dropped…</p>
<p>I did not drop the class. I simply changed from taking Astronomy(Honors) to Astronomy.</p>
<p>I was TAP certified based on the fact that I was going to take Astronomy with an optional honors contract that made the class into an honors class. I did not complete the contract, but I am still getting a solid A in the class.</p>
<p>Yeah…same thing. You were going to be (TAP) certified, and now you’re not. I let them know, and I explained to them the extreme circumstances that led me to dropping the class. Hopefully they’ll have mercy and still let me in… :)</p>
<p>Ask you honrs coordinator if there is anything else you can do to certify your TAP. There may be something else you can do.</p>
<p>Well for me, the TAP certification was already sent out. As of now, UCLA is going to review my application as a TAP application. I am already TAP certified. </p>
<p>The question is, do I tell them now that one of my courses is not an honors course, do I tell them after they accept me, or do I simply pretend I never removed the honors option from the course?</p>
<p>you’re not supposed to be evaluated as a TAP certified… and you should tell them that</p>
<p>Can someone start the countdown for cal and LA. Its coming up!</p>
<p>You’re right lostincode, but I doubt I have a chance without it, and I believe I have a 90% chance with TAP. If I get in I will never know if it was because of TAP. I am so conflicted. If I simply tell them about what happend after I am accepted I dont think they can withdraw my acceptance because as my honors coordinator said: “you will never know if you got in because of TAP or not.”</p>
<p>it’s between doing what’s ethical and doing w/e you need to get in</p>
<p>again, it’s your choice and we can’t really make you feel better about it</p>
<p>Don’t tell them and take a summer honors course to clear your conscious and make it right. Chances are, TAP students are already evaluated and either in/out. Why stir the pot.</p>
<p>In my opinion however If you are really borderline (below say 3.7) then you owe it to other kids to let them know if you don’t plan on really finishing your TAP. If you were above a 3.7 you would have probably earned your way in regardless. </p>
<p>It’s you that has to live with your own decisions.</p>
<p>Ummm, if your final transcipt is different in any way from what you have indicated, your admissions decision will be under review, and that’s a fact. I’m not pushing for you to do the right thing for just the sake of being ethical, but you realize that the UC application is based on trust. I mean, you have to self-report your grades, etc, and it’s all based on trusting you, and they will reprimand you if you lie. It may be nice getting an acceptance letter from UCLA, but once you send in your final transcript, you’ll have to agonizingly wait, thinking about how they might rescind your decision. </p>
<p>Did you ever think about what might happen after you submit your SIR and everything to UCLA, and then having them reject you again just because you lied? I mean, what school can you go to then after June 1st has passed? You couldn’t go to any school then, and then you’d have to wait for another year. I suggest your rethink your strategy.</p>
<p>Hi! Actually , I am in a similar situation. I don’t have a TAP but I want to drop a class that is not a prerequisite for my major. I don’t know whether I should tell the UC’s right now or should i wait till i get accepted. I talked to the UCSD counselor and she said that “they don’t care” as I am already accepted. But i still have to inform UCLA and UCB.</p>
<p>I need your help as when should I let them know.</p>
<p>I am 3.5 by the way ,impacted major.</p>
<p>Diamond - I guess I will wait until the moment I am accepted, and then I will tell them. I will not keep it a secret until they see my final transcript. That way, I get the best of both worlds.</p>
<p>If you don’t have your TAP certified, you can always get kicked out later anyway.</p>
<p>almost same situation here. currently I’m taking ENGL 1B, and the thing is I might be ended up with getting a D. Suppose I get in, and when they find this, will they revoke my admission? does someone has answer for my question?</p>
<p>Yes, they may revoke your admission. You’re better off dealing with it ahead of time. Talk to someone immediately.</p>
