There is no such restrictions at most of the universities I know. For example, there were usually half a dozen juniors/seniors in all of my computer engineering graduate courses. At Wisconsin, one of my classmates took all graduate chem engineering courses in his senior years.

Undergraduates taking graduate courses is not nearly as common as many people think. It’s quite common for undergraduates to take mixed undergraduate/graduate courses, of course, but those are quite different in nature and difficulty. An undergraduate taking a purely graduate-level course almost invariably requires the permission of the instructor and advisor; often the permission of at least one dean is also required. That said, a well-prepared student is usually not denied such a request.</p>

<p>For example, look at the requirements Wisconsin had in place when you were a student (i.e. prior to 2007):

@University of Wisconsin Undergraduate Academic Services

1. L&S students who enroll in L&S graduate courses need senior standing with a 3.5 GPA or better or an Honor’s students with junior standing.
2. Students need the consent of the instructor.
3. L&S students must obtain permission from an Academic Dean in L&S Undergraduate Academic Services to make the course count toward the undergraduate degree.
4. L&S students are restricted to take one graduate-level course per semester for seniors or one course per semester for an Honor’s student with junior standing.

<p>Would USC offer a good preparation for grad school (engineering)? </p>

<p>Do some seniors at USC get acceptance from top-notched grad school like MIT CIT and Stanford?</p>

<p>lol yes a considerable number of seniors go to top tier grad schools. why wouldn’t they?</p>
