In their own words: "At UCLA we're looking for more than straight-A students. You might also be in your high school's jazz band and the starting point guard on the basketball team. Or perhaps you're the senior class president and coordinator of a local charity organization. Ideally, you are all these things and more. And your rich experience brings the type of perspective and leadership we value at UCLA."
