    With a 9% acceptance rate, UCLA is quite difficult to get into. However, students have still a high chance if they perform excellently in academics and take part in some extra activities or volunteer work. The university follows a holistic approach where it gives priority to certain academic and non-academic factors. If the students start working on the factors given below, their probability of selection may increase:
