Michelle

I really think anyone has the potential to go to UCLA and succeed if they are driven and dedicated. If you are motivated, have passion, are focused, are inspired by city life, are proud and spirited, and love to have fun, then you should attend this school! Other than the competitive-drive of academics, the school is very spirited, and it is located in the city, so unless you do not like high-energy atmospheres or cannot handle the high-pressure to do well, then maybe consider another school that is more relaxed in that context.

Ivan

Students who continually rely on others to stay focused in class.

Midhat

Anyone who procrastinates or is not serious about their major, also, anyone who is not willing to keep up with their classes just because it requires a little extra effort.

Steven

You shouldn't attend this school if you aren't interested in future success, an involved and accomodating staff, and a multitude of social and extracurricular activities.

Our school is representative of such a variety of students that it would be very difficult to find any individual who doesn't fit in.

When I think about UCLA, my mind races with excitement. Everything you want a school to encompass is everything UCLA offers and more.

As a confident, young, energetic, social, determined, motivated, and spirited individual, UCLA has taught me to be the best possible person. I am proud to say I stand for what I think UCLA students should be!
