Hey everyone, I've been eyeing UCLA since middle school days. But I'm trying to work out what ACT score I should aim for. What's the usual ACT score range for incoming freshmen at UCLA?
For the 2024-2025 application cycle, UCLA will not be considering ACT or SAT scores in the admissions process as the university has adopted a Test-Blind policy. This means even if you submit your scores, they will not be looked at or taken into consideration when making the admissions decision. Therefore, your focus should be on maintaining a strong academic record, pursuing a rigorous course load, presenting stellar essays, and demonstrating deep involvement and leadership in extracurricular activities. Developing a “spike” or deep passion in a specific area may also set you apart from other candidates.
