TOEFL For international students, the TOEFL score is only neccessary if you have not completed a BS or MS in the United States. The TOEFL requirement has been changed so that PhD applicants must have 90 (233 computer-based and 577 paper-based) and MS applicants must have 80 (213 computer-based and 550 paper-based) on the internet-based TOEFL. GRE Unless a written waiver is obtained, all applicants must provide a GRE and TOEFL score. Please submit photocopies of your GRE and TOEFL score reports with your application. Official scores may be sent to Northwestern University at institution code 1565.

CV You must upload a currrent resume or CV in the online application. Fee A non-refundable $95 single-application fee is required. Payment can be made either online by a credit card or by a check payable to Northwestern University (all checks must be in U.S. funds and drawn on a U.S. bank). Payment cannot be waived or postponed. RL We require three letters of recommendation from people who are able to evaluate your professional experience and your capacity for independent academic work. The recommendation letters will be used to aid in the admission decision, but they will not become part of the student's permanent file. Transcript All colleges and universities attended must be listed on the application form whether or not a degree has been awarded, or is expected to be awarded, and an unofficial transcript from each institution must be filed with the application.
