I wish I had known the background nad specifications of some specific departments at UCLA that have captured my belated interest both academically and career-wise. They are Film, International Development Studies, World Arts and Cultures, Ethnomusicology, and Geography. While few high-schoolers think of these departments when choosing and enterring universities, these departments at UCLA are some of the best in the world of their type, and it makes me wish I had committed to a few them early on in order to have further explored my future in these fields.
