UCLA has offered admission for fall 2024 to 8,795 first-year California-resident students, marking a 2.5% increase, or 209 students, over the previous year. The number of first-year students from underrepresented groups also grew, maintaining their proportion among all admitted first-year California residents at 37%, the highest in more than three decades.

Overall, UCLA extended offers to more than 13,100 high school seniors and 6,000 transfer applicants. Among admitted California Community College students, the proportion from underrepresented groups rose to 36%, up from last year's 35%. This increase was partly driven by a rise in admissions of Latino transfer students to 29% from 27%.

“We’re delighted by the broad diversity of backgrounds and the academic quality of both our admitted first-year and transfer student class,” said Gary Clark, UCLA’s associate vice chancellor for enrollment management. “Our outreach and recruitment partnerships with underserved high schools, California community colleges and community-based organizations have allowed us to broaden access and opportunity for in-state students all across California.”

The socioeconomic diversity of admitted freshman and transfer students remained robust. UCLA increased the number of admitted first-year Californians from low-income families to 2,765, up from 2,681 in 2023. Similarly, first-generation students — those on track to be the first in their families to graduate from a four-year college — rose to 2,766 from 2,625.

Admissions data for all nine UC undergraduate campuses and the UC system are available from the University of California Office of the President.
