True, and like I mentioned the school's here look into what socioeconomic factors you had to face as a minority. I stated I was from Central Asia, and then picked Afghanistan. As you know each application is different, so many school's will allow you to write more about the factors you had a face. I'm not sure about UCLA since I haven't looked into anything that they've had to offer.

"Do not lose hope in adversity and complain that God singled you out for punishment, remitting others guilty of worse sins. Your present state could very well be His intent to elevate your spiritual station. Or He could just be testing your faith. Everyday that you persevere, you grow closer to perfection. Thus, your present despair may be the beginning of an infinite blessing". - Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani.
