Applying to College

Is a 31 on the ACT a good score?
Is it good enough for UCLA?

2

Yes. A 31 is good enough for UCLA, but you also need good grades and some activities.

UCLA gets a ton of applications - almost 100,000. How will you stand out?

As stated above, an ACT score of 31 is within range for UCLA, but UCLA like the majority of UC’s are very GPA focused so you need a competitive UC GPA, interesting EC’s and great essays to get that acceptance.

Here is the 2016 Freshman profile:

Admit rate — Overall: 18.0%
Admits: 17,522
Applicants: 97,115
California Residents (% of admits): 59.4%

GPA and test scores of middle 25%-75% students

@Gumbymom You stated:

“California Residents (% of admits): 59.4%”

for UCLA. Could that be a typo?

I copied the posted information from the UC Website under Freshman Profile. The Preliminary Freshman profile und the UCLA website shows 61% admits for California Residents.
