Terminology Colleges/ Universities Use

A big part of understanding admission requirements is learning about the terminology Colleges/ Universities use.

At a glance: how admissions work (for international applicants).

  • Prerequisite courses: Each program lists required high-school (or equivalent) courses. Some universities also set minimum final grades in those courses.

  • Admission average: A major factor in decisions. It’s calculated from your senior-level results, and how many courses are counted depends on your education system.

  • Typical grade ranges: Schools publish ranges (e.g., mid-80s, 80–84%, low 90s) to show how competitive a program was last year.

  • Not a guarantee: These ranges change year to year based on program space, the number of applicants, and how strong their grades are.
