Conditions worth reading twice
Rising senior (with a limited rising-junior exception tied to acceptance into the Teacher Education Program's Integrated Pathway) or current senior. Must be in the Mathematics for Teaching Major/Minor, OR accepted into the UCLA Teacher Education Program plus a Curtis Center pathway program — so majors_strict is false since the Teacher Education Program route does not require the specific major. Overall GPA must be 2.50+, with a 2.50+ GPA maintenance requirement.
