The journey starts in Los Angeles.

If a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step, when did you take that first step?

Were you still in baby shoes, or were you strolling across the playground dreaming about what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Maybe you were racing from a part-time job to a study group thinking about the university that somebody somewhere told you isn’t for you, even though you’ve always known that it is. And you proved it when you spoke those three magic words ... “I got in.”

With those words, and the faith of your family and the people of Los Angeles, you acknowledged that soon the next leg of your journey will begin.

A journey that, we hope, will continue in your hometown, at the No. 1 public research university in the country. A place that recognized you, out of more than 110,000 extraordinary applicants from around the world.

It’s a place filled with people as determined as you are. A community of scholars, who will go the extra mile to take that next big step, that next giant leap, right alongside you.
