  • Gaokao Admission
    University of San Francisco Gaokao Admission Frequently Asked Questions What is Gaokao Direct Admission? USF offers a special, accelerated admission procedure for Chinese students who have achieved excellent Gaokao scores. Applicants will be admitted to USF based solely on their Gaokao test scores and a one-on-one interview with University staff, designed to evaluate English proficiency. There are no other admission requirements. Interviews in July enable students to begin their education in America immediately– –without spending an extra year preparing for IELTS, TOEFL or SAT tests. Interviews begin in mid-July, applicants receive their results within 24 hours of the interview, and formal admission letters are sent within a week. Students therefore have enough time to apply for F-1 student visas, and can attend USF in the Fall (August) Semester. Students who qualify in July can postpone their admission to the following Spring (January) Semester, if they prefer. Interviews are also held in late November or early December each year. Students who complete these interviews successfully can enter USF in the Spring (January) Semester or the next Fall (August) Semester. Why is USF doing this? For many decades, USF and the City of San Francisco have welcomed students from China. Our Chinese alumni have done very well in life after USF, both professionally and personally. Current Gaokao and other Chinese students enrich the educational experience of international and domestic students, alike; all benefit from the international network of friends made and colleagues introduced here at USF. Over the past few years, we have seen a steady increase in the academic ability and achievements of Chinese applicants to USF.

  • Test Scores Explanation for Parents and Teachers: Youtube Video Script by Lara Langelett July 2019 1
    Test Scores Explanation for Parents and Teachers: YouTube Video Script By Lara Langelett July 2019 1 Introduction: Hello Families and Teachers. My name is Lara Langelett and I would like to teach you about how to read your child’s or student’s test scores. The purpose of this video message is to give you a better understanding of standardized test scores and to be able to apply it to all normed assessment tools. First I will give a definition of what the bell curve is by using a familiar example. Then I will explain the difference between a percentile rank and percentage. Next, I will explain Normed-Referenced Standard test scores. In addition, the MAPs percentile rank and the RIT scores will be explained. Finally, I will explain IQ scores on the bell curve. 2 Slide 1: Let’s get started: here is a bell curve; it is shaped like a bell. 3 Slide 2: To understand the Bell Curve, we will look at a familiar example of basketball players in the U.S.A. Everyone, on this day, who plays basketball fits into this bell curve around the United States. I’m going to emphasis “on this day” as this is important piece information of for explaining standardized scores. 4 Slide 3: On the right side of the bell curve we can section off a part of the bell curve (2.1 % blue area). Inside this section are people who play basketball at the highest skill level, like the U.S. Olympic basketball team. These athletes are skilled athletes who have played basketball all their life, practice on a daily basis, have extensive knowledge of the game, and are at a caliber that the rest of the basketball population have not achieved.

  • The Relevance of Standardized College Entrance Exams for Low SES High School Students Regina Deil-Amen and Tenisha Lashawn Tevis
    DEIL-AMEN & TEVIS / College Entrance Exams 141 The Review of Higher Education Winter 2010, Volume 33, No. 2, pp. 141–175 Copyright © 2009 Association for the Study of Higher Education All Rights Reserved (ISSN 0162-5748) Circumscribed Agency: The Relevance of Standardized College Entrance Exams for Low SES High School Students Regina Deil-Amen and Tenisha LaShawn Tevis For the past half century, the U.S. school system has functioned as a highly rationalized and vertically integrated mechanism for socializing and sorting students into the existing social and economic structure. As educa- tional hierarchies expanded to increase access to postsecondary education, so reliance on the college entrance examination also expanded, with both meritocratic and stratifying consequences. The initial rise in the use of col- lege entrance exams provided an “objective” mechanism to counteract the widespread discrimination in college admissions processes (Lemann, 2000). However, critics have since exposed such exams, particularly the SAT, as weak predictors of college academic success, particularly for nontraditional students (Sedlacek, 2004); and the lower average scores of African American and Latino students on these exams continue to present daunting obstacles for them, especially in the form of barriers to admission to selective colleges (Hacker, 1992; Hedges & Nowell, 1998; Jencks & Phillips, 1998; Phillips, Brooks-Gunn, Duncan, Klebanov, & Crane, 1998; Steele, 1997).
