UCLA remains one of the most selective public universities in the United States. For Fall 2025, UCLA reported 145,085 first-year applicants, 13,659 admits, and an overall 9.4% admit rate.
These figures come directly from the UCLA Undergraduate Admission First-Year Profile. They describe a completed admission cycle, not a prediction for a future class.
UCLA Fall 2025 admissions overview
| Measure | Official figure |
|---|---|
| First-year applicants | 145,085 |
| Students admitted | 13,659 |
| Students enrolled | 6,553 |
| Overall admit rate | 9.4% |
An admit rate is a result of one applicant pool. It is not an individual student’s probability of admission, and it can change when application volume or enrollment targets change.
GPA profile of admitted first-year students
| GPA measure | Median | Middle 50% |
|---|---|---|
| Fully weighted GPA | 4.61 | 4.44-4.78 |
| Unweighted GPA | 4.00 | 3.95-4.00 |
UCLA calculates these GPAs from courses completed in grades 10 and 11. Its fully weighted calculation adds points for eligible UC-approved honors courses. UCLA also states that it considers the courses and opportunities available at each applicant’s school.
Admit rates by UCLA school

These school-level figures are more useful than unofficial major-level estimates. UCLA links to additional major data from its official profile.
How to interpret the numbers
- Academic strength matters: admitted students typically earned very high grades in rigorous available courses.
- Context matters: UCLA reviews achievement in light of the opportunities available at the student’s school.
- School choice matters: selectivity differs substantially across UCLA’s undergraduate schools.
- No statistic guarantees admission: the published profile summarizes a class; it is not a cutoff list.
