An individual that is in search of an adventure, personal discovery and the challenge to be independent. UCLA certainly taught me about how to be an independent thinker and learner with the confidence and willingness to take on the unknown.

Any motivated and ambitious indivdual should attend UCLA. UCLA has something to offer to everyone, which is why UCLA has over 50,000 undergraduate applicants ech year. Also, you cant beat the weather.
Andy
Someone who is adventorous. Someone who seeks to create a life for themselves that otherwise would not be created. Someone who wants to use all of the resources this world has to offer in order to make it a better place for every person living now and in the future.

Prospective UCLA students should be willing to step out of their comfort zones to try new things. The college years are the perfect time to do so, and UCLA provides a wide array of activities, clubs, opportunities for those who either already have an active interest in something, or for those who are still unsure of their interests and would like to try a little bit of everything. That said, students should also be working toward certain academic or post-graduation goals. It's a balancing act, but it would be a shame to let these opportunities go to waste.

The students who are drawn to UCLA are those who seek greatness, those who believe that they have a unique contribution to bring to the world and who are proactive in their desire to both cultivate and express their gifts.

I think college really is what you make it out to be, so anyone can attend UCLA as long as they keep an open mind about the issues that go on around them. Keeping an open mind, in general, is important at any school, but I feel like it's especially important in an environment where most students dorm and where student organizations and other groups are constantly voicing their opinions on Bruin walk.
Genevieve
A person that is dedicated to academics and would like to maximize their college expereince should attend UCLA. UCLA offers an immense amount of resources. There are programs for study abroad, career advancement and social involvement.
Rachel
There is no specific kind of person that should attend UCLA. Rather, UCLA encourages diversity and variance in identity. What I found was most beautiful about UCLA was that it was impossible to place all the students into one category.
I remember walking onto the campus for the first time and I remember seeing the variety of races and personalities. There seemed to be a club or organization that would include and accept every kind of person. Therefore, there is no limit to who should apply or dream to attend UCLA because whoever they are they will be welcomed.
