Shannon

An individual that is in search of an adventure, personal discovery and the challenge to be independent. UCLA certainly taught me about how to be an independent thinker and learner with the confidence and willingness to take on the unknown.

Jamal

Any motivated and ambitious indivdual should attend UCLA. UCLA has something to offer to everyone, which is why UCLA has over 50,000 undergraduate applicants ech year. Also, you cant beat the weather.

Andy

Someone who is adventorous. Someone who seeks to create a life for themselves that otherwise would not be created. Someone who wants to use all of the resources this world has to offer in order to make it a better place for every person living now and in the future.

Gabrielle

Prospective UCLA students should be willing to step out of their comfort zones to try new things. The college years are the perfect time to do so, and UCLA provides a wide array of activities, clubs, opportunities for those who either already have an active interest in something, or for those who are still unsure of their interests and would like to try a little bit of everything. That said, students should also be working toward certain academic or post-graduation goals. It's a balancing act, but it would be a shame to let these opportunities go to waste.

Soemone who is ready to push the envelope in life. The opportunity to go to UCLA means exosure to some of the best educational and professional resources in the country. Students who are driven and ready to work thier asses off for the chance to change thier world should come here.

Cynthia

I think college really is what you make it out to be, so anyone can attend UCLA as long as they keep an open mind about the issues that go on around them. Keeping an open mind, in general, is important at any school, but I feel like it's especially important in an environment where most students dorm and where student organizations and other groups are constantly voicing their opinions on Bruin walk.

Genevieve

A person that is dedicated to academics and would like to maximize their college expereince should attend UCLA. UCLA offers an immense amount of resources. There are programs for study abroad, career advancement and social involvement.

Rachel

There is no specific kind of person that should attend UCLA. Rather, UCLA encourages diversity and variance in identity. What I found was most beautiful about UCLA was that it was impossible to place all the students into one category. I remember walking onto the campus for the first time and I remember seeing the variety of races and personalities. There seemed to be a club or organization that would include and accept every kind of person. Therefore, there is no limit to who should apply or dream to attend UCLA because whoever they are they will be welcomed.

Fidel

People willing to put in the time and effort to study and not let distractions bother them.

An amazing person.

James

The University of California-Los Angeles is a school for anyone who is willing to take their education into their own hands. What I am trying to say in this statement is that at such a large school, it is important to take charge and make good use of all the opportunities given to its students. But the education being offered here is world class to say the least. UCLA is ranked among to top 10 public schools in the country and has world renowned research programs. The best opportunities are there, one just has to find them.

Antoinette

Any kind of person could find a spot here. Campus is kind of divided between North Campus (Social Science Majors) and South Campus (Math and Science Majors) and social groups and interactions reflect that. This place is best suited for the super brainy or overly social and rarely do the two come in one package despite this being UCLA you do find that students fall best under one of the two categories.

Jessica

The kind of person who should attend UCLA is someone who is very self-directed. It's a large campus, and while the resources that you need are out there, there won't be anyone to hold your hand and guide you through it. If you're the kind of person who would rather figure things out on your own, this won't be a problem for you.

Hannah

Determination. Confidence. Talent. These are characteristics of a true Bruin. I may not be the brightest student, but I can say with confidence that I have determination. Of all the courses I took fall quarter, chemistry provided the greatest challenge. However, I studied harder for that class than any other class I had ever taken. I learned that perseverance is a key virtue to have, which is more important to me than a grade. A person, not necessarily the smartest, with perseverance should attend this school.

Onel

A person that is ready to take on the challenge of competing with people of great intellects. A person that is hardworking and be able to put time into effort into learning the materials. One that will accept failure and be able to learn from it in order to improve. One that is able to accept that there will always be other people better than them. A true Bruin should attend this school.
