@2016Candles‌ I know this might be a late response, but I believe the answer to your question comes down to a couple of things:


What graduate program(s) do you want to attend post-undergraduate studies?
What do(es) those/that program(s) look for the most during their admission process? (I know that some graduate programs weigh prestige, performance, personal statements, recommendations, and prior-relevant-experiences differently than other programs do).
How confident are you that you would be able to maintain a high enough GPA to qualify for merit based scholarships and grants offered at UCLA?
How willing are you to write multiple essays to general scholarships (not restricted to UC’s) ?
Why did you apply to UCLA in the first place? (Not a sarcastic question at all, I mean this in the sense “did you want to go to UCLA for the prestige and the ability to look back proudly on the accomplishment?” etc.)


I ask these questions because there is no cut-and-dry “solution” to your dilemma. Hopefully these questions help you in your decision making process.
