What are your general comments?
CDU is all about the community. If that is not your goal, if you don't plan on giving your time, efforts and care to the underserved, they will be able to sniff it out. If you are trying to use CDU as a back door to UCLA, they will sniff it out. Just be honest about what you want to do. If you are genuine about being in the community, you will be just fine.
