queenofhearts Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 For the spanish prereq (I know they require a year)--does anyone know if one needed to take the courses for a letter grade in order to be eligible to apply? I took the course p/np. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annemarreb Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 This is straight from their website, " It is expected that all science prerequisites be completed with a minimum grade point average of 2.75, with no individual science prerequisite grade less than a 2.0 ©. All prerequisites must be completed for a letter grade with at least a grade of C (2.0) earned. " So, YES. You have to take the pre-requisites as a letter grade. Goodluck!

SSG2PA Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I also have a question about this topic. I am fluent in Spanish, and tested well above SPAN 101 & 102 at my university. I was told to take Spanish for bi-lingual students, which at my school is SPAN 221/ 222. The USC website states: Beginning Spanish Language, 2 semesters or 3 quarters; 1 academic year (9 months) sequence; (must be college level credit earned either through coursework or by placement exam; AP coursework is acceptable); there are no language substitutions or waivers. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Do my courses meet this requirement, since there are no language substitutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaaldana Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I think you're okay if you are fluent in Spanish. I believe they have you take an exam or something if you are a fluent Spanish speaker. You might want to e-mail or call admissions just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The program replied: "Thank you for your interest in the USC PA Program. Yes, the coursework you took for Spanish will count. We will waive the 1 year Spanish requirement." I hope this helps anyone else applying to USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
