Our Innovative Gaokao-based, Early Admission Program for Superlative Chinese Students

The University of San Francisco is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for our Admission By Gaokao Examination Program for the spring 2021 semester.

Due to the fact that Gaokao exams have been postponed one month later to early July while our fall 2020 semester will start in mid-August, we have decided to move the start semester of Gaokao admits to spring 2021, so that they can have more time to apply for a visa and get ready to start in Jan. 2021.

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. explains:

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 the IELTS, TOEFL or SAT tests.

• Eligible student scores will be established after Gaokao results become available in late July. The interviews will begin around early/middle August and will be held via Zoom.
• Successful candidates will be able to start their studies in America in Jan. 2021.
• The admission process will be streamlined so that qualified students will receive their admission decisions within days of their successful personal interviews.

Unfortunately, space is limited. Interested Gaokao students and parents should contact USF immediately to register for the program.

旧金山大学高考招生项目
——为最优秀的中国学生而开设

旧金山大学很高兴宣布：我们现已开始接收2021年春季学期的高考招生项目的申请。

由于高考推迟一个月至7月份举办，而我校秋季学期将于8月中下旬开学，相邻时间较短，因此我们决定将高考生的入学时间推迟至2021年春季学期，也就是2021年1月份入学，这样高考录取的学生可以有更多的时间申请签证，为春季入学做好准备。

学生录取仅需以下条件：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。

• 符合我们录取要求的高考分数线将在高考成绩公布以后，大约在七月下旬，向公众公布。面试活动将于8月初或中旬开始，通过Zoom进行远程视频面试。
• 被我校成功录取的学生2021年1月份即可赴美学习。
• 旧金山大学简化了申请流程，符合录取要求的学生面试后几天内就能得到录取结果。

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。
