You're a freshman applicant if you completed secondary school and have not enrolled in a regular session at any college or university. UCLA does not admit students into any undergraduate program who already hold Bachelor's degrees, nor do we admit students who have the equivalent of three years (130 quarter-units or more) of transferable university work. You may not disregard your college record and apply as a freshman.

You must complete a rigorous college preparatory program that includes the minimum academic subject requirement courses. UC is aware that many school systems may not offer similar courses, but we do expect students to take challenging courses offered in their schools. Students must complete secondary school and be eligible to enter a competitive university in their country to be considered for UC admission.
