TOEFL If you have full financial support from your government, then we only require an iBT TOEFL score of 88. If you need financial assistance, then essentially the only source is the graduate teaching assistantship. For this you must present an iBT TOEFL score of at least 100, with at least 22 in Reading, 22 in Listening, 21 in Speaking, and 24 in Writing. Upon arrival at USC, you will also have to take a test of written and spoken English in order to be approved to teach. GRE The Department has no minimum requirement. The majority of our entering PhD students have Verbal GRE in the range 150-165, Quantitative GRE in the range 155-165, V+Q GRE in the range 310-330, GRE Mathematics Subject in the range 580-760 (about one-half of the students reported their GRE Mathematics Subject score), and a GPA in the 3.7 - 3.9 range.

PS If you used a very advanced book in your analysis or algebra book and got a good grade, by all means, include the title of the textbook(s) in your personal statement.
