Hey guys, I've been starting my college search process and got a bit curious. I know acceptance rate is important, but I'm also interested in the sheer volume of applications each college receives. So, which college gets the most applications every year? Looking forward to your answers!
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) consistently receives the highest number of applications each year among universities in the United States. For the fall 2024 admission cycle, UCLA received over 173,400 freshman applications. This is likely due in part to UCLA's solid reputation, a diverse array of academic programs, and location in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. But remember, don't be deterred by the volume of applications at any college - your job is to make sure your application represents you in the best light possible and aligns with the values and expectations of the universities to which you're applying!
