The University of San Francisco is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for our Admission By Gaokao Examination Program for the Fall 2018 Semester.
We started this innovative program to enable Chinese students who score well on the Gaokao taken in June to study in the United States as early as the coming Fall Semester (August 2018).
Students will be admitted to USF based on their Gaokao test scores, school record and a one-on-one English interview with USF Professors Via Zoom. There are no other admission requirements.
USF President Paul J. Fitzgerald, S.J. explained:
Many studies have shown that the SAT is not a very good predictor of how well students will do at university. We are aware of the many criticisms that have been made of the Gaokao, but it has the advantage of being what educational experts call a 'criterion-referenced' exam: It tests whether students are able to master a given body of knowledge, as well as their ability to work hard and consistently.
USF recognizes this and wants to give excellent Chinese students the opportunity to start their education in the USA, immediately—without spending an extra year preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or SAT tests.
Unfortunately, space is limited. Interested Gaokao students and parents should contact USF immediately to register for the program.
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSION BY GAOKAO EXAMINATION
旧金山大学很高兴宣布:我们现已开始接收2018年秋季学期的高考招生项目的申请了。
我们创办这个新型招生项目的目的是为那些在六月份高考中取得优异成绩的学生提供一个尽早赴美深造的机会(最早可早至2018年秋季学期,今年8月份开学)。
学生录取仅需两项条件:高考成绩、高中成绩和与旧金山大学教授的英文面试。此外无其他录取条件。
旧金山大学校长保罗▪ J ▪ 菲茨杰拉德解释道:
“多项研究显示SAT成绩并不能很好的预测学生进入大学后表现是否优异。尽管我们也意识到有很多针对中国高考的批评,但是它有一个被教育专家称为“标准参照”的优势:它能测试出学生是否熟练掌握一个特定知识体系,以及他们是否具备刻苦学习并坚持到底的品质。”
正是认识到高考的这一优势,旧金山大学希望能给优秀的中国学生一个尽早赴美留学的机会,而无需再多花一年的时间去准备雅思、托福或者SAT考试。
遗憾的是,我们的名额非常有限。因此感兴趣的高考学生和家长应尽快联系我们报名。
