  This campus is at 405 Hilgard Avenue, Box 951405 Los Angeles, CA 90095-1405. It has a nickname that is given to them because there are a lot of people from Asia there and a nickname that is a little better than the first one: The Athletic Bruins.


  This would be the expense for you to go to UCLA whether you live on campus, off campus, or with a relative. To live on campus and have all the things on the table to the right, it would be approximately $33,276 for one year! That is why people prefer to live off campus or with a relative because to live off campus it is only $31,156 and that is a $2,120 difference. However, living with a relative is even less than both of those.


  There are many different schools that you can join at UCLA. There is the UCLA School of Nursing, there is, The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, The School of Theater, Film, and Television, and The School of Arts and Architecture. For me, I think that I am interested in their science school.


  To the left is the Diversity at UCLA and there are more Female Students than Male students and that the overall race is the Asian or Pacific Islander which is why it gets its weird other nickname that I can’t speak of.


Freshmen Application Information



  UCLA had over 55,000 freshman applicants and announced that they were only accepting 12,098 students. Among them were 175 student body presidents; more than 150 National AP Scholars; 400 most valuable players in their sports; nearly 900 outstanding musicians; almost 300 Eagle Scoutsﾊand Girl Scout leaders; more than 200 black belts in various martial arts; some 500 Science Olympians; about 500 recipients of book awards from Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Princeton and other universities; more than 150 Model United Nations delegates; more than 150 recipients of Rotary Youth Leadership Awards; and 3,000 who indicated they were captains of their sports or academic teams. Out of all of those, only about 4,500 actually showed up and are currently studying.


  The average freshmen test scores rose 8 points to 2,004 out of 2,400 possible points. The average math score was 683, the average reading score was 654, and the average writing score was 666. The average G.P.A of the Admitted freshman is 4.36 compared to the previous G.P.A., which was of 4.33.


Information For Transfers


  This is the front cover for the long transfer admission guide which can be found at: UCLA Transfers


  As you can see from the table above, transfer students get admitted at a different rate depending on where they are from. The enrolled students are not available yet because it is for Fall ‘09.


  In the table above, it shows where the transfers come from and their average G.P.A is above 3.0 and the SAT scores are not available yet.


Majors and Other Interests


  I think that I want to do a science major and maybe enter at The Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. I want to be a doctor or a rocket scientist, I will decide which one when I get there. I really need and want the money and my goal is anything higher than a doctor’s degree.


  To get a BA or BS in my major I have to take a ton of courses because my major is Aerospace Engineering. I have to take Calculus I, II, III and linear algebra plus chemistry, science of particles and rigid bodies and much more!!! All of the information for my difficult major can be found at:

  MY DIFFICULT MAJOR


  There are many other activities from academic activities, athletic activities, to community activities. Sports are a big thing at UCLA especially football and soccer.


  These are only two of the many fraternities and sororities that you can get into at UCLA.


  Here are a few internet sources and quick facts about what you can do at the University of California: Los Angeles.
