Details about supplemental requirements are listed at the top of each FAQ for the majors. We keep the PDF printouts from the most recent admission cycle as a reference.
The supplemental requirements for the current admission cycle are posted on SlideRoom. The next open cycle is for Fall 2026 admission and we will publish them on SlideRoom in August (hopefully early August, definitely late August).

The minimum GPA requirement to be eligible for admission, is a 3.0 for California Residents. 3.4 if you are coming from Out Of State or International.
In our supplemental review, we look at all eligible candidates in context, because we are aware that creative students spend their time differently, and that investment and aptitude may not be represented in your GPA.
A 3.0-3.4 GPA is not a bad GPA— that is a B average. The great majority of our students do very well academically in their general education coursework here at UCLA.
-
The entire University of California system is test free, we do not consider test scores in the admission process at all. If you do take these tests, they can be used towards academic placement; read more here.

No. If you selected a UCLA Arts major as your first choice to UCLA, and you do not pass the department supplemental evaluation, you do not get placed in the general pool for admission to Letters & Science.
-
Yes. If you apply multiple times, you are considered on the basis of the materials you submit for that admission cycle only; we don’t look at materials from past admission evaluations.
-
UCLA does not consider "demonstrated interest" as part of the application review process. Visiting campus, attending information sessions, reaching out to representatives is a great way of learning more about UCLA; however we do not track student's interest and it will not affect the review of your application.
