Hello, Everyone,
I hope you are doing well. I am trying to find out the history of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) - specifically, which university established it. As a student of San Jose State University (SJSU), some professors there have told me that SJSU started UCLA as one of its branches many years ago. However, my girlfriend said that UCLA was established by University of California, Berkeley (UCB), and she gave similarities between UCLA and UCB, such as their similar colors and mascot. I did a bit of searching but could not find anything pointing out who established UCLA at all.

Thanks,
Victor Ly

Check out wikipedia. It's a great site - can lose a lot of time at work reading wiki! :)

History of the University of California, Los Angeles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I did find the information on Wikipedia, but that's a bit difficult to trust. I am trying to find more accurate sources. Thanks though!

UCLA has it's own websites for this:
UCLA History Project Home Page
University of California History Digital Archives
About UCLA [UCLA Gateway]

Can you help me as you are ucla student? I want to attend in UCLA for2009 but I haven't TOFEL or IELTS result as I haven't prepare for it yet. Can I apply without it? I have GCE, LCCI level 1 and 2 results. I am going to answer LCCI level 3 in coming Nov. I don't want to wait till 2010 to apply. What should I do?
