Transfer Student Highlight - Transfer Success Stories

Jennifer Ulloa De La Torre

Jennifer is a second-year transfer and was recently accepted into the UCLA School of Law, Law Fellows Program. This fellowship is designed to encourage high-potential undergraduate students for a career in law. Jennifer will attend academies at UCLA School of Law, receive academic support and mentorship, and complete a J.D. action plan. “My acceptance into a T-14 fellows program wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for encouraging mentors, supportive friends, and family,” says Jennifer. We are so proud of her!
