Frequently Asked Questions About Admissions

Q: What about international students in the U.S. -- do they need to take the TOEFL or IELTS?

A: All students whose native language is not English are encouraged to take the TOEFL or IELTS exam. It is to your advantage to do so, especially if you have a low SAT verbal or critical reading score or a low score in Writing.
