Global perspective question - which college receives the most applications globally, every year?
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) consistently receives the highest number of applications each year, making it the most applied to university not just in the United States, but also globally. In recent years, they have received well over 100,000 applications from hopeful freshmen. This includes both domestic and international applicants, as UCLA is a popular option for students all over the world due to its prime location, strong academic programs, and renowned faculty.
However, do remember that a high number of applications also equates to increased competition, so applicants should ensure their application stands out in terms of academic performance, extracurricular activities, essays, and other relevant factors.
