Hello! I'm considering applying to UCLA and was wondering if they have any specific ACT requirements? Also, what's the average ACT score for admitted students? Any information would be greatly appreciated!
UCLA, as part of the University of California (UC) system, has been test-blind since the 2021-2022 application cycle. This means that they will not review ACT or SAT scores at all, even if you choose to submit them. Test-blind policies apply to all applicants, whether they're in-state or out-of-state.
Because UCLA is test-blind, there are no specific ACT requirements, and the average ACT score for admitted students from previous years is less relevant to your application. Instead, they will focus on other aspects of your application, such as your GPA, extracurricular involvement, and essays. To strengthen your application, you should emphasize your academic achievements, involvement in extracurricular activities, and present a strong personal statement.
Make sure you meet the "a-g" course requirements set by the UC system and focus on maintaining a high GPA in challenging courses. The UC system is highly competitive, so demonstrating strong academic performance will be crucial to your application. Good luck with your application to UCLA!
