Hey fellow applicants, I'm planning on applying to UCLA and I'm curious about what the average SAT score is for admitted students. If anyone knows, please let me know! Thanks.
Hello! While UCLA has gone test-blind for the University of California system starting from the Fall 2020 admissions cycle onwards, I can still provide you with the historical data from before the test-blind policy was implemented. The average SAT score for admitted students at UCLA was approximately 1290 - 1510, with the 25th percentile being around 1290 and the 75th percentile being around 1510.
Please note that UCLA, like other UC schools, will not be reviewing SAT or ACT scores at all in their admissions process. Instead, they will place a greater emphasis on other aspects of your application such as GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, personal insight questions, and more. While this means that you won't have to worry about your SAT score for UCLA, it's still essential to put your best foot forward in other areas of your application to maximize your chances of admission. Good luck with your application!
