【USC】托福分数有效期

USC网站上说：Your scores are considered valid only if earned within two years of your intended first term at USC. (For example, no earlier than August 1 two years prior if applying for the fall term.)
我是16年4月考的托福，分送过去之后给我发邮件说我的分数not valid。我以为USC应该和别的学校一样，先review再发conditional offer的，有没有遇到过的小伙伴呀？可不可以先让他们用这个分review,再补交成绩呢？
USC是我申的最后一所保底校，申请费也交了，不是太想放弃……

我刚刚又认真地看了一遍关于托福有效期的要求，和大家分享一下吧：

西北官网上说的是：TOEFL must be taken no more than two years before the intended quarter of entry. However, your application will not be disqualified if your scores are a few months out of date.
感觉好像也还可以。

楼主，我和你是同一时间考托福的。选校的时候我特意留意了成绩有效期的问题。只能说，绝大部分只要求在submit application的时候成绩有效，但是的确有西北，usc等学校明确要求入学仍有效。一旦学校提出来入学仍有效，就是死卡死的规定，不会有通融的。建议你可以重新考虑选校了。

自己顶一下，目前也给小蜜发邮件了，有回复和大家分享一下

USC感觉各种和其他学校不一样啊

好的，谢谢各位啦

我感觉最保险的是16年9月之后考，不同学校不一样，有的学校是application deadline前两年，有的学校是入学前两年。

. 1point3acres是的，但是事到如今了，只能怪自己懒，因为当时考的大分小分都很满意，现在难度提高了不知道能不能考的这么高了
