在美国众多知名大学中,南加利福尼亚大学也是不错的一所。南加利福尼亚大学位于加州南部城市洛杉矶,是美国西部规模最大的一所高等学府。在国内,每年也有不少学习向往这所大学。那么,在申请该校的时候,需要注意哪些问题呢?下面和出国留学网一起来看看吧!
What GPA and test scores are required for admission?
There is no minimum requirement or absolute "cutoff" for grades, class rank or test scores. USC evaluates prospective students through an individualized, comprehensive review process that takes these, and many other factors, into account. Regardless, most first-year students are selected from the top 10 percent of their high school classes. Successful transfer students typically present at least one year of rigorous, full-time academic coursework, with strong grades.
入学对GPA和考试分数要什么要求?
对于成绩、班级排名或考试分数,没有最低要求或绝对的截点。南加利福尼亚大学通过个性化而又全面的审核程序对未来学生进行评估,审核程序会将以上因素和其他许多因素纳入考量。不过,大部分大一学生是从高中班级最优秀的10%的学生中选出来的。成功转校的学生一般要接受至少一年严格的全日制学术课程学习,并且成绩优秀。
Can college units taken before high school graduation satisfy General Education requirements? What kind of credit may be earned by college courses taken during high school?
All undergraduate students entering USC may receive a combined maximum of 32 elective units for college courses and/or examinations (such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate) taken before graduation from high school. A maximum of 16 of these 32 units will be allowed for college courses taken before high school graduation. These courses must appear on a college transcript as part of a regular college curriculum and are expected to be taught on the college campus by college faculty.
在高中毕业之前拿到的college unit满足一般教育要求吗?高中学习的大学课程拿到的学分是什么类型的学分?
所有入学南加利福尼亚大学的本科生最多可以从大学课程中或从高中毕业之前参加的考试(如大学预修课和国际文凭)中拿到32个选修unit。32个unit中,最多可以从高中毕业之前上的大学课程中拿到16个。这些课程必须是作为大学日常课程由大学老师在大学校园教授的出现在大学成绩单上的课程。
How do the grades I earn during my senior year of high school factor into USC's admission decision?
Generally, for the purposes of admission into USC, we review an applicant's coursework from grade 9 through the first term of his or her senior year. Students need to use the Mid-Year Report Form to submit their fall grades as soon as they become available.
Once admitted, all students are required to submit an official copy of their high school transcripts to verify their graduation dates. Students' transcripts will also be reviewed to ensure that they have maintained a continued level of academic achievement. A serious downturn in a student's senior year could result in the rescinding of an admission offer.
在高中最后一年中拿到的成绩如何对南加利福尼亚大学的入学决定产生影响?
一般而言,出于招生目的,学校会对学生九年级到高中最后一年的课程进行审核。学生需要尽早使用《年中报告表》提交秋季成绩。
一旦被录取,学生需要提交高中官方成绩单,以核实毕业日期。审核成绩单也是为了确保学生已持续维持了学术水平。最后一年成绩严重下滑可能会导致录取被解除。
What classes should a student take during high school to prepare for USC?
Students should successfully complete at least sixteen yearlong college preparatory courses while in high school:
Four (4) years of English (composition and literature)
Two (2) years of foreign language
