Hi! I'm thinking about applying to UCLA's film program, but I've heard that it's really competitive. Does anyone know what the acceptance rate is for the film program at UCLA? Thanks in advance!
Hi! You're right—UCLA's School of Theater, Film, and Television is highly competitive and prestigious. While the acceptance rate for undergraduate programs at UCLA as a whole is around 9-11%, the acceptance rate for the film program is significantly lower, since it's one of the most competitive programs on campus.
Keep in mind that this acceptance rate can fluctuate year to year, but it's consistently quite selective. If you're interested in pursuing film, don't let the low acceptance rate discourage you. It's important to put together a strong application, including a standout personal statement, an impeccable portfolio, and a showcasing of your passion for film to increase your chances of being admitted to this prestigious program. Good luck with your application!
