Hello,

Currently I am in US and given the toefl, I got very less score of 55. But I got 23- speaking, 17- writing and also hold residency status of more than 12 months. Also have some credits in Masters degree in my home country?Can I get admission with these requirements or do I need to retake the test again.

Your valuable inputs are appreciated.

Thanks,
Raj

It depend on the University you are planning to apply. Total TOEFL score is that counts. Credits from your home country will not help you here. What is your Visa status? Check with the Universities you are planning to apply about TOEFL requirements and residency requirements.

hello!!
My toefl score is 78. I know its too low, many universities ask for minimum 80 in toefl. Like i send my toefl score in University of Arizona and university of Florida.
I got admit from UFL but Unv of arizona is saying i am not satisfying the minimum requirement.
So i have taken the test again. Result is expected towards the end of this month..
But now the problem is deadlines for my 3-4 universities has passed.
So I am very much confused whether i should take chances and apply in other universities with my old score or shall i wait for my new score and then apply.
