<p>I also applied to UCB, UCI and UCSB.
Stats:
GPA: 4.0
Major: Geography
IGETC: Completed
ECs: geography club, phi theta kappa, completed Honors Program, participated/presented at 3 research conferences (UCI’s HTCC Conference & CGS), various community service to raise money for Japan with the Japan Club and Geography Club</p>
<p>Since I completed TAP and my major is not as competitive as other majors, I am really hoping I will be accepted. </p>
<p>I do know quite a few people already at UCLA, so I think it would be great if I got accepted! UCLA has a variety of amazing clubs on campus-they’re almost always representing themselves on bruinwalk. The ones I found to be the most intriguing were the “random acts of kindness” and “geography association”. I’ve only researched classes I would take for my major, so I’m not sure if that would be helpful. However, I do know that the dorms are pretty nice. I have been to my friend’s dorms and they always have really nice study lounges on every floor which makes it easy to find friends I would assume.
As far as college life, it seems like the campus is very active. There is always UCLA events going on, like movie screenings, get-togethers, yoga, lectures, job fairs, etc.
Oh yeah, and the food is amazing! If you end up getting a meal-plan, you won’t be disappointed!</p>
<p>Anyway, hope that helped!</p>
