For all freshman applicants, decisions will be available on March 22nd some time after 5:00 p.m. PST. Best of luck!! :-)

And to address the questions regarding academics…

The audition is an extremely important part of analyzing your suitability for admission. After auditions/interviews, The School of Theater, Film, and Television (TFT) sends the applications to go through further examination by the admissions committee. This is where they take a look at your GPA, SAT scores, essay, etc. It is a holistic review. There is a spectrum, though. There are some students who were their high school’s valedictorian, and there are others who most certainly were not. But, I do not know of anyone in the program who had a 2.0. (that doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened though, but it sounds VERY rare).

I do not know about everyone’s academic background, so I can only tell you this: Since UCLA provides a liberal arts education along with pre-professional training, students in the program are VERY talented and everyone is eager to learn and work VERY hard! :-)
