TOEFL Required scores on the Internet-based (iBT) and Computer-based TOEFL are: An overall score of 80 or more AND meet the minimum in each individual area Reading 20, Writing 22, Listening 17, Speaking 17; the suggested minimum speaking score for international teaching assistants is 23. If a prospective student is below the minimum in one area by two points, or in two areas by one point, but has an overall score of 80 or above, it is at the discretion of the department if they wish to consider the student for admission. Please note that the overall score is not determined by adding the minima of individual areas, it is an overall score that gives prospective students the best chance of success in our graduate programs.The minimum score on the Paper-based TOEFL is 550. GRE We only require GRE scores from students who did not graduate from US college/university. We do not have absolute minimums for the GRE, we consider all applications holistically. GRE scores are only one part of this equation for the international students. In general, we expect the Quantitative GRE scores to be in 90th percentile range.
