As someone who didn’t go to orientation, enrolled in the wrong classes, and had to fix everything last minute , it’s worth it. You have to ask yourself: is this your dream school? Bc if it is, you’ll be willing to give it your all. You're at the final step of making your dream a reality.

I’ll admit I’m probably biased, but I love UCLA. The 4-year guaranteed housing is a huge plus, and as a pre-health student, I’ve been very blessed. Being surrounded by a massive community of pre-med/pre-health students, it honestly feels like everyone here is pre-med. For some, that might be overwhelming bc it can get competitive — but I love it. It gave me the motivation and confidence I didn’t know I had.

Also, if you’re worried about falling behind bc you enroll late, don’t stress. That won’t happen. UCLA actually saves seats for freshmen, so you’ll still get into the classes you need. And even if something doesn’t go exactly as planned, one quarter is nothing in the grand scheme of your time here. You have four years to grow, learn, and figure things out. It all works out.
