Hi Everyone

Need some inputs. I completed IGCSE with 6 subjects and currently doing A Level with 5 subjects in India. I started applying to few universities for computer science major in US but Penn State denied admission saying that I don;t have social studies in the high school.

Do all the universities in US has this requirement for international students ? I’m worried that I might get rejected everywhere.

IGCSE subjects - English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Biology and ICT
A Level subjects - English, Maths, Physics, Chemistry , Biology

Any thoughts ?

Thanks in Advance.

To be admitted to US colleges and universities, your high school background should include a comprehensive completion of coursework, covering multiple areas of study. Each university lists the minimum requirements on their websites.

Additionally, US colleges and universities will require that you complete general education coursework, in addition to CS courses, to graduate from the university. It won’t just be engineering courses. You will have to complete Humanities courses along with Science and math courses.
