@Marcyteach12 if you’ve looked at the admit rates then you have all the information anyone outside of the ucla admissions office will have. Keep in mind that admit rates are not perfect measures. You’d need to know not just the average gpa and scores of applicants and admits but their distribution. This info is never published. Furthermore since admissions are holistic then they also look at factors that are not publicly revealed. Bottom line is you can come up with a coarse sense of how hard admission is by major based on what you’ve already looked at, but that’s probably the best you (or anyone else) can do.

You should look into the TAP program at ucla that gives preference in admission to Letters and Science. Also the counselors at SMC are quite experienced with xfer since they are one of the largest sources of ucla xfer students, so you should be meeting with counselors and attending their info sessions right from the start of your time there.
