My UBridge advisor always encouraged me and offered the kind of supportive words that felt like therapy. She inspired me to believe in bigger possibilities. So here I am—admitted to UCLA—a school I never even dared to dream of!

Also admitted to: UC Irvine, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, and UC Riverside (with a scholarship of USD$90,000 per year)

“I am the parent of Nguyen Tien Phuc Dat, a student of the University Bridge program. Since the first day two years ago, Phuc Dat has received dedicated and experienced guidance. The UB advisors in the US have provided valuable advice throughout Phuc Dat’s academic journey. The results have been outstanding: Phuc Dat has been accepted into five reputable UC system schools, including one that offered a $18,000 scholarship (for two years) and the prestigious UCLA.”

“My academic journey at SMC and with UBridge has been incredible! UBridge provided valuable guidance as I navigated studying in a foreign country, giving my parents peace of mind. SMC has been equally welcoming, with passionate professors and a strong community of international students who support one another. It also gave me the space and comfort to explore different majors before deciding on the right path for my transfer.”

Student profile
Kevin Bui

Vietnam

California State University-Fullerton

Also admitted to: CSU Los Angeles and CSU Long Beach

Major: Economics

 

“We can not believe that our little son has reached this advancement and more than happy to see his maturity. It was easy to see that the UBridge team were passionately devoted both to Kevin’s academy and his lifestyle. Without your support, he is maybe still a student with very low GPA at another university and now struggling to find his own direction.” -Kevin’s Mom

Major: Mathematics

 

When I first joined UBridge, I was still feeling down about not getting into the UC schools — especially since my best friend got into UCSD. But through the advising support here, I gradually regained my confidence. I wasn’t just guided academically — I truly felt heard. I’ve learned that changing direction doesn’t mean giving up, and that mindset shift helped me move forward in both school and life.”

“The best advice I’ve received from my UBridge advisor regarding my transfer essays is to show and not tell. She reiterates how vital it is to show off different qualities of my personality. I have learned how to showcase myself as a “brand” and to add depth into my stories through these essays.”
