I'm wondering if you always get taped for schools even if you are under weight?

You probably won't.

But the regulation states that you can be taped if your commander thinks you don't have a "Soldierly" appearance. Chapter 3 section 3-2 (d).

I actually was taped and ended up on the positive end by 8 pounds because of it. "The Tape" is not always the evil ascribed to it.

WLC and ALC had the same standards when I went through. If you met height and weight you weren't taped. If you didn't, then you were taped.

No. I've been under my weight for about a decade now, and I hope to keep it that way... The tape is an evil monster, and I don't wish it on anyone..
