The first question is different than what I found on UCLA’s website…. this has led me to question some of the other posts… would you comment on that?
Thanks.
Hi Alex,
Thank you very much for bringing the discrepancy to my attention. The post now reflects the updated essay questions from UCLA. Several schools are in the process of revamping essay questions this year, so from time to time a change may occur after it appears here. Apologies for any confusion this may have caused.
