The Hardest Majors to Get into at UCLA, 2015

Below is a list of majors at UCLA that had the lowest admit rates. I calculated a cut-off at 25% acceptance. Note that not all of these majors have exceptionally high GPAs. One assumes that part of the process included non-completion of requirements.

UCLA majors with admit rates of 25% or lower:

College of Letters and Science

  • Ancient Near East and Egyptology (25%)
  • Arabic (8%)
  • Atmospheric, Ocean, and Environmental Science (17%)
  • Biology (20%)
  • Business Economics (12%)
  • Communication Studies (13%)
