Westwood Bruin Professionals Fireside Chat
Hosted by Westwood BP • Bruin Professionals fireside chat • Students & families welcome
WHAT'S THIS EVENT ABOUT? Part 2 goes from story to specifics. Feiyang walks through real, anonymized examples from past UCLA applicants and admits — the strong profiles, the surprising denials, the ones that went the other way than you'd expect — and explains, from an admissions officer's point of view, why each decision made sense.
It's the closest thing to sitting in the room while an application gets read. If Part 1 was the map, Part 2 is the terrain: concrete cases, real patterns, and the reasoning behind who gets in.
You don't need to have attended Part 1, but it sets up the context nicely.
