Applying for Admission As an undergraduate, a student may apply for admission as a freshman or a transfer. You are a freshman applicant if you completed secondary school and have not enrolled in a regular session at any college or university. You are a transfer applicant if you completed secondary school and enrolled in a college or university. You may not disregard your college record and apply as a freshman. Admission to UCLA is very competitive and highly selective in all majors.
First preference is given to California residents, then to other United States residents.
We are only able to admit a limited number of international applicants. Academic Requirements To be considered for admission to UCLA, international students must have completed secondary school with a superior average in academic subjects and have earned a certificate of completion which enables the student to be admitted to a university in the home country. Results of Advanced Subsidiary or Higher Level Exams should also be submitted. Documents of all college or university coursework must also be sent in the original language, along with English translations. Do not send these documents now.
