What is the UCLA's benefit if you sign TAP Certification?

<p>Is the purpose of signing the TAP agreement just so LA has a quicker process of eliminating and accepting transfers?</p>

<p>If one student completes honors courses and major reqs but doesn’t sign the form, then what is the diff between that student and one who has also completed all necessary course work and has signed the form? Do Honors Courses show up as Honors on the transcript?</p>

<p>Thanks guys</p>

<p>if you are transfering to a nonimpact major, sign tap, do igetc, prereqs and have a greater than 3.3 gpa you have a %95 chance of getting into ucla. tap can also help you a lot for getting into impacted majors. there is no point of taking the honor classes unless you sign tap; unless you just want to brag about it in your personal statement. honor courses do show up as honors on transcript.</p>

  • the purpose of signing a TAP agreement is so LA can confirm that you completed the program. the benefits of the program…well you know what they are.</p>

<p>If one student completes honors courses and major reqs but doesn’t sign the form, then what is the diff between that student and one who has also completed all necessary course work and has signed the form?

  • There is a big difference. You wouldn’t have completed TAP officially especially since most programs require you to do more than take honors courses (i.e. community service). If you dont sign the form, you wasted your time and effort.</p>

<p>Do Honors Courses show up as Honors on the transcript?

  • I actually don’t know the answer to this one. My honors transfer coordinator said it does but again…i dont know.</p>

<p>for example, If I’m taking econ, it says " Honors Econ 101"
but that’s just for my school…I’m not sure about other schools. read your school catalog. also you should be able to sprint an unofficial transcript online.</p>

<p>thanks guys, this is an email i got:</p>

<p>The purpose of TAP is to have community college students participate in an honors curriculum and be involved in a driven, academic community, so that students maintain the proper motivation to transfer to a competitive university.</p>

<p>But I realize that most students just want some kind of guarantee about admission.</p>

<p>TAP is not a guarantee. Students who complete the honors program at their community college and are certified will receive priority consideration during our review process.</p>

<p>TAP is all or nothing. We don’t give extra credit for honors coursework during our selection process. You must have the TAP certification to receive the additional consideration.</p>
