If you are applying to to U.S. Schools, colleges as an International Student, where English language is not native language, then TOEFL Score is mandatory application requirement. All the schools require you have to minimum TOEFL scores to be considered for admission. Students post lots of questions like
- What is the minimum TOEFL Score required for admission into U.S. Universities
- My TOEFL Score is 79, can I get admission in MS
- What is the Minimum TOEFL score required to get admission with scholarship
- What is acceptable toefl scores required for admission
- What is minimum toefl iBT score required for admission in US colleges
Though all the questions are different, it refer to same question.
Where to Find Minimum TOEFL Scores
If you look at International Student admission page in any college, university web page, they will list the minimum TOEFL scores required to be considered for admission.
For example, here list of scores required by few schools
Arizona State University
Total Score: 83
Auburn University
Total Score: 80, with the following minimum section requirements
Reading: 20, Listening: 20, Speaking: 20, Writing: 20
Case Western Reserve University – School of Graduate Studies
Total Score: 79, with the following minimum section requirements
Reading: 19, Listening: 15, Writing: 22, Speaking: 23
Some students will have taken TOEFL CBT (Computer Based Test) which will have scores to 300 points. In that case usually universities requires atleast 213. Alos, some in countries Paper Based test is also offered which scores ranging from 310 to 677 and 0-6 in writing.
TOEFL Minimum Section Requirements
As you can see some schools have one minimum score like ASU – 83, while others requires you to have minimum overall toefl score and minimum in each TOEFL sections. So, check the admission requirements page of the universities you plan to apply. [ Top 5 TOEFL iBT Books ]
What of Minimum TOEFL Score is not Specified?
If you look at college admission requirements page, for sure minimum required TOEFL scores will be specified, some schools will not specify what is the minimum GRE Score required for admission, but TOEFL will be definitely be there.
Next question you will naturally tend to have -
My TOEFL Score is 78, but I’m applying for Case Western Reserve University, which requires 79 as minimum score, can I still apply for admission?

Dear sibjita,
I just don’t think that you can apply any US colleges with the TOEFL score of 51.
If you are that much intented to go and study at USA then, don’t just waste your time
go and take another TOEFL exam! Try hard and am sure that you’ll score higher.

@Elijah
welcome, to HSB.
Friend it is suggested to you to write again your toefl exam to get more score.
no university will grant financial assistance on the basis of your TOEFL score alone.
it is all combined, gre, or gmat-if you are opting to study MBA,
your gpa, lor,sop,research papers, work exposure and your attitude
all
is will be taken
hence what exactly you want to study is more important.
if you want to study just because of scholarship
i am afraid that attitude is not positive friend
good luck to you
cheers

although 69 is low, but you still have chance to be admitted in us colleges. most universities require international students to have more than 71 on the toefl. however, some colleges such as arizona state, university of oregon, need only 61. you can go to their website and learn more.

Hi.

thanks!
Vero – yes 113 is very good score. But, you will need to have good GRE Score too.

i think they are looking not only for your toefl score but also your grade and also gre too (if it is needed).
and the best place to get an answer for any question is the university where you want to be…

Do i need to appear for TOEFL exam too, along with GRE exam, to do masters in biotechnology from US…? As i am goin to appear for GRE exam now, Should i appear for TOEFL exam also, for persuing my masters in biotech from US colleges/universities..? Plz do reply.
i have low toefl score it is 62 but i desire to study in the usa can you advise me smth?
62 is very less. Most of the universities require 79 or atleast 70+. Its better to retake TOEFL exam.
62 is enough if you’re applying for a community college admission! Some of them require 45+! but as for Universities, it’s not enough for most of them!
retake
