UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSION

What are you looking for in a university? Are you hoping to just learn or make an impact? Would you like to leave with a degree or a career?

At UCLA we're looking for more than straight-A students. You might also be in your high school's jazz band and the starting point guard on the basketball team. Or perhaps you're the senior class president and coordinator of a local charity organization. Ideally, you are all these things and more.
And your rich experience brings the type of perspective and leadership we value at UCLA.

GRADUATE ADMISSION

THIS IS WHERE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE BORN.
