Harder to get into; USC or UCLA?

Which one is going to be a more difficult entrance? 

Also, does UCLA admit people pursuing a second bachelors or just for the M.Arch if they already posses a bachelors? Is the B.Arch at UCLA a professional degree?

The UC system, with few exceptions, does NOT admit students for second bachelors' degrees.  The CSU system, however, has historically admitted students for second bachelors' degrees.  UCLA does not grant a B.Arch.  They only recently started offering a B.A. in Arch. for junior and senior year, and it doesn't look that good on paper ... to me.  UCLA has long been known as a graduate-only department, which is actually a nicer way to learn architecture, especially if changing careers.

I suggest becoming familiar with which schools offer which programs.  Try that ACSA website that has been linked.

Didn't figure I would win pursuing a second bachelors anyways but I am still interested in their M.Arch so which school would be more difficult; USC or UCLA? 

For USC I'm looking more at their dual MLA./MUP.

Also did I just read right that Sci Arc has an 89 percent acceptance rate? Isn't it supposedly one of the best arch schools in the world? Is that just for their undergrad or their M.Arch too?
