At a glance

University of California, Los Angeles is a High Reach school on our readiness map — that label describes how demanding the preparation is for international-school applicants, not an admission probability.

Based in Los Angeles, California (US Top 50, US News 2026 #17 per US News 2026 National Universities), it reviews both AP and A-Level curricula, so the question is not which system you study but how strong your core-subject evidence is.

The benchmarks and admit-case chart below come from anonymized application records of Chinese international-school students, aggregated with percentile ranges to protect every individual case.

Where past admits landed

Not enough complete anonymized data is available to display a chart. This does not mean there are no admitted students.
