南加州大學宣佈 2027 年秋季全面實施 Early Decision (ED) 招生制度！

政策重點：

• 約束力制度： ED 為具有約束力的申請管道。若學生被錄取，必須同意入學並撤回其他學校的申請。
• 關鍵時程： 2027 年秋季申請者須於 2026 年 11 月 1 日前提交 ED 申請，結果將於 2026 年 12 月中旬釋出。
• 例外學院： 考夫曼舞蹈學院 (Kaufman School of Dance)、桑頓音樂學院 (Thornton School of Music) 及戲劇藝術學院 (School of Dramatic Arts) 目前不參與 ED，仍維持 12 月 1 日的 Regular Decision (RD) 截止日。
• 多樣化選擇： 既有的 Early Action (EA) 與 Regular Decision (RD) 管道將繼續保留。

為什麼 USC 選擇現在推行 ED？

根據 USC 教務長辦公室的說明，此決定是基於去年秋季在馬歇爾商學院（Marshall School of Business）試行成功的經驗。隨著越來越多申請者將 USC 視為唯一首選，ED 制度能幫助校方更精準地鎖定對學校展現極高熱情與承諾的優秀學子。
