Hey there! I was curious if anyone could tell me what the average SAT score for accepted students at UCLA is. I'm trying to evaluate how competitive my score is for admission.
UCLA, like all other schools in the University of California system, has been test-blind since 2021. This means that UCLA, for the 2024-2025 application cycle, does not consider SAT or ACT scores at all in their admissions process. If you were planning to submit your SAT scores, please be advised that they will not factor into consideration.
Instead, UCLA places more emphasis on other aspects of your application. For example, your high school transcript including your GPA and the rigor of your courses, your personal essays, extracurricular activities, and any awards or honors you have received, will be more significant in their evaluation process.
Make sure to highlight your biggest strengths and accomplishments in the aspects UCLA is considering, bringing meaningful experiences into your essays, and showcasing the depth and breadth of your involvement in your extracurriculars. Even without test scores, there are various ways to prove your capabilities and potential.
