What’s the acceptance rate for Psychology at UCLA?

I'm really into Psychology and I'm currently looking at different universities. Can anyone tell me about the acceptance rates for the Psychology program at UCLA? How competitive is it?

UCLA, like many large public universities, doesn't usually publish acceptance rates by major. When you apply, you're initially considered for admission to the university itself, not your intended major. However, UCLA is a highly competitive university with an overall acceptance rate of about 9%.

Once you're admitted to UCLA, you get to declare your Psychology major when you've completed certain course and GPA requirements, typically by your junior year. If you maintain a strong academic profile there, you shouldn't have a problem declaring your Psychology major. Keep in mind that admission to UCLA overall is highly selective, so you'll want to have a compelling overall application in terms of grades, essays, and extracurricular activities.

To bolster your application, consider showcasing curiosity and commitment in the field of Psychology. Shared research projects, Psychology-related extracurricular activities, and taking Psychology classes in high school can help you stand out.

Remember, understanding the acceptance rate by major can only tell you so much. Your application's success lies in your commitment, passion for the subject you want to study, your academic and extracurricular qualifications, and how well you articulate your story in your applications.
