Demonstrating English Language Proficiency
While 51ÁÔÆæ does not have a specific score requirement for these English-proficiency exams, we recommend a minimum score of 100 on the Internet-based TOEFL exam, an overall band score of 7.0 for the IELTS, or a score of 130 on the DET for applicants to be competitive for admission. Please note, 51ÁÔÆæ does not accept ‘super scoring’ from any English language proficiency test, including the TOEFL MyBest score.
In order to ensure students are not penalized by a lack of available testing dates or opportunities, 51ÁÔÆæ will also accept the TOEFL Home Edition. Please note, 51ÁÔÆæ will not grant requests for fee waivers for proficiency exams to any applicants or inquiries.
Official scores (from a testing agency or high school official) must be submitted to complete your application, and self-reported scores will not fulfill our requirement. Students may also demonstrate English proficiency through their studies at a secondary school where English is the primary medium of instruction.
Applicants who would like to request a waiver for our proof of English proficiency requirement are able to do so via a form found on the checklist in their . The Admission Office reserves the right to request proof of English proficiency at any time during the application process.
