Not gonna lie, STEM at UCLA is very competitive, so you are right. My cousin LOVED stem, but when she entered UCLA, she changed her major because UCLA was very big and the competition was gruesome (FOR HER). I think if you are passionate abut STEM, UCLA will be awesome for you.

Also, I don’t think many UCLA incoming frosh got into MIT and Stanford… maybe a few, but definitely not the majority based on my knowledge? Of course, I may be wrong, but I think many had UCLA as their “hardest” or one of the “reachier” schools. I think you’ll be fine! Don’t worry about the competition until you get a feel for the environment. My cousin was horrible at chem and therefore realized stem really wasn’t for her if she couldn’t even PASS UCLA chem
