Interesting how this old thread just popped up.

AmberChantal – the chances of transferring into the UCLA BA theater program as an current UCLA student are very, very small. On our tours and all over the web site UCLA stresses that it’s nearly impossible. And I’m pretty sure they mean it. This is a program that allows you only to apply to the BA program and if you don’t get in, you are not even considered for admission to the University. Still, I guess it never hurts to go talk to the faculty, consider taking classes so you can minor in theater, try out for the productions. But more than likely, if you audition next year, they’ll want to start you at the beginning or they’ll encourage you to audition for junior year where you’d be accepted as a transfer. The overall admission rate to the program, with thousands of kids auditioning freshman year, is 6 percent, I think.
