Hello, guys! I just finished my sophomore year at a community college, and I'm planning on transferring to UCLA. What is the acceptance rate specifically for transfer students? Is it any different from the general acceptance rate? Thank you!
Hello! Congratulations on finishing your sophomore year at a community college and deciding to transfer. The acceptance rate for transfer students at UCLA is indeed different than the overall acceptance rate. While the overall acceptance rate at UCLA in 2023 was 9%, the transfer acceptance rate was higher, at about 24.4%. However, this rate may still vary from year to year depending on the applicant pool and other factors.
Keep in mind that acceptance rates may be different for various programs, so it's essential to research the specific major you're applying to. Regardless, it's crucial to maintain a strong application, including a solid GPA and compelling personal essays, to give yourself the best shot at being admitted. Good luck with your transfer application!
