<p>Would it make sense for an engineering student to do TAP?</p>
<p>you get to pick a alternate major for ucla if you do TAP</p>
<p>Hello everyone. Well now that UCLA D-Day is upon us, I have become very anxious about my chances. So I will post my stats and hopefully someone can tell me if I have a chance.</p>
<p>Major: Biochemistry (Alt. Major: Molecular, Cell & Develop. Bio)
GPA: 3.64 total transferable, 3.47 science
Completed TAP (so like all the honors classes and basic pre-requisites for a science major).
Completed IGETC
Completed all the prerequisites except for the second semester of Physics
Only C is in Calculus III :(, which happens to be a pre-req.
Various extracurriculars, leadership positions, etc.
Have done all of this in two years
Took 28 semester units last spring and received 6 A’s and 2 B’s that semester</p>
<p>How about my chances at Berkeley? My declared major was Biochem. & Molecular Bio.</p>
<p>I am very nervous about getting in. Please be as honest as possible and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for reading.</p>
<p>Could you even do TAP if you were an engineering major? I mean, it’s not like they take IGETC, and i don’t even think any cc offers honors electrical physics, honors multi var calc., etc. I’d appreciate any help.</p>
<p>Or is tap only for letters and sciences?</p>
<p>I thought molecular and cellular bio is a very impacted major at UCB, but how come in the stats posted by mojojo the acceptance into molecular and cell bio pretty high?</p>
<p>I completed the honors requirements by taking a bunch of honors history, economics, art, etc. classes, and still completing my pre-requisites. My school does not offer any of the pre-requisites in honors form. That is why I have completed 76 units in three semesters so far. Although UCLA says science majors dont have to complete IGETC, I did it to become more competitive. IGETC is meaningless at UCB, but throughout my time at my CC, i worked and did everyone for UCLA.</p>
<p>IGETC won’t make you more competitive</p>
<p>You “did” everyone for UCLA? lol</p>
<p>What’s your major compguy?</p>
<p>OK, to answer my own question: apparently TAP only matters if your major is in the college of letters and sciences. HHooray</p>
<p>hi what are you guys overall feeling about UCSB?</p>
<p>homophobic</p>
<p>My major for UCLA is Biochemistry. My Alternative Major is Molecular, Cell & Develop. Biology, For UCB, it is Biochem. & Molecular Bio.</p>
<p>compguy90620: Berkeley has a major for Biochem & Molecular Bio? I think you either mean Chemical Biology or Molecular and Cell Biology. If you applied for Chemical Biology, you will probably have a slim chance. According to assist.org, completion of calculus-based physics is encouraged, and they list 4 semesters of physics as pre-req classes. If you applied for Molecular and Cell Biology, I think you have a good chance. Other than the missing physics your stats are better than mine.</p>
<p>Hello once again. I need to know what you think.</p>
<p>I’m missing an English class, which will prevent me from fulfilling the IGETC, and possibly having my admissions revoked. Recap: my English class was cancelled last week because of low enrollment. I found an english class that begins late May and ends late June. It’s considered a part of the Summer session, but I figured, well, since the class ends pretty early (relative to other summer sessions which usually end in mid-July) it might be okay. Please tell me what you think. Thanks.</p>
<p>It should formally be considered as a spring class in order to work for UCLA and UCB. I think the latest spring class started last week.</p>
<p>Question:</p>
<p>I’m filling out the UCLA Alumni Scholarship application right now, and it’s asking me for CP ID#. Is that the 7-digit UC application number?</p>
<p>I’ve since received 2 rejections, out of the 5 + requests that I put in to the different colleges. It seems like the popular answer to my requests are that it’s too late to add; I even offered to email them personal references who are familiar with my work, as a testament to my work ethics.</p>
<p>Why can’t they just add me?? [insert expletive here]</p>
<p>Does any one have other recommendations? Thank you.</p>
