1. "International" refers to any applicant who is or will be in the U.S. solely for educational purposes. It is worth noting that the overwhelming majority of international transfer applicants to UCLA are attending California community colleges at the time they apply.
2. "Limited/EAP" (Education Abroad Program) refers to foreign exchange students who attend UCLA for one or more terms before returning to their home institutions to complete their degrees. Admission decisions have not yet been made for this population.
3. "Withdrawn" refers to applicants who voluntarily withdraw their applications from consideration.
