TOEFL/IELTS Information
TOEFLStudents at Yale must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and to express themselves easily in both spoken and written English. As part of the assessment of a candidate's competence in English, Yale strongly recommends the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for any applicant whose first language is not English and who has not received at least two years of his or her secondary education in an English-medium curriculum. A minimum score of 600 is required on the paper-based TOEFL; a minimum score of 250 is required on the computer-based TOEFL; and a minimum score of 100 is required on the Web-based TOEFL. Please note that testing done in November (for Single-Choice Early Action) and January (for Regular Decision) may not arrive in time for the committee's consideration. Test sooner if at all possible. For information about how to take the TOEFL, visit www.ets.org/toefl. Be sure to include Yale’s CEEB code (No. 3987) on all test registrations.
