收到拒信，并推荐我去申请pre-master,这是什么

刚刚收到的拒信，说推荐我去申请Pre-Master’s Program，有人知道这个吗？和正规的master有区别么

Thank you for your Fall 2014 application to the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. Unfortunately you have not been recommended for admission to the M.S. in CSCI program. However, we would like to consider your application for the M.S. in CSCI as part of the new Pre-Master’s Program at the USC International Academy.

The Pre-Master’s Program is a unique new opportunity that combines intensive English training with pre-admission to select USC MS degree programs.  If admitted, students take 1-2 semesters of Pre-Masters courses designed to prepare their English and academic skills and receive conditional admission to a specific M.S. program at USC with satisfactory progress in the English courses

我也是，我把后面的也贴出来吧，供大神解读一下。最后一句说这个邮件并不是最终决定。

Please note that the USC International Academy reserves the right to change the courses you will need to take as requirements of the program based on the results of the placement test that applicants take during orientation upon arrival in the United States.  Additional information on the Pre-Master’s Program at the USC International Academy can be found here: http://international.usc.edu.  

If you are interested in being considered for this program, please reply to this email using the subject line “Pre-Master’s Program” and confirm that you would like to be reviewed.  Once you confirm your interest, we will consider your application as part of the USC International Academy Pre-Master’s program.  Please note that this is not an admission decision for the program. You will be notified separately of the admission decision for the USC Pre-Master’s Program.

谢谢~~~我查不到更多消息，这个pre课程到底怎么样呢？

上周有个介绍会，我去听了，因为主要是针对高中申本的介绍，利用USC国际学院开设托福+SAt课程。让高中考美国本科的国内高中生托福SAt不够分熟的在那里培训，分数够了再申请美国本科。最后介绍几句：谈到有研究生预科，也是针对申请美国硕士托福GRE分数不够的，去那里培训考试后分数够了就可以申请了，虽然挂着USC的招牌，但是申请USC不会有照顾。

两码事啊，我对这个预科一点都不了解~~
网上也说是pre-master只上语言课程，我还以为就是语言课呢。

Pre-Masters courses designed to prepare their English and academic skills
这不说的很清楚么，只是托福不够的话，应该只要语言课就行了
不过看了评论觉得还是略坑，还不如在国内自己再奋斗一年半年的，刷刷GT再申请

天啊，这是啥啊，usc又出了一个新项目？

USC为了收钱真是脸都不要了，无语

亲，你英语不好吗？非得让你上英语课，我看还有托福83被录春季的

亲，你英语不好吗？非得让你上英语课，我看还有托福83被录春季的

usc录取不看托福的。没有90分 被录取后 需要上语言课

相当于预科，USC真是丧心病狂啊

作为同被拒的 表示还有托福75被录取的。。。真是不知道说什么好了

你申请的是cs general项目吗？英语不够还是？
