Required Testing
|
Yale requires the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB) SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) (Code No. 3987) or the ACT Assessment Plus Writing (Code No. 0618). Scores from the January sat test date or the February act test date should reach us in time for consideration. Only scores reported directly to Yale by the College Board or the ACT are considered official. (Copies sent directly from the secondary school are also considered official.) If you have not already requested that your scores be forwarded, please do so immediately. International students are required to submit SAT I or ACT results unless they are studying outside the U.S. in a country without accessible testing centers. We understand that the ACT Assessment Plus Writing is not offered everywhere outside of the United States, and so we will continue to accept the standard ACT without the writing option. |

TOEFL
Students at Yale must be able to understand rapid, idiomatic English and to express themselves easily in both spoken and written English. If your primary language is not English, you may need to submit the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). This is in addition to the SAT I or the American College Test (ACT). If your English language skills are strong and/or if your language of instruction has been English, you may omit the TOEFL. Yale does not considercandidates whose TOEFL score is below 600 (on the paper based TOEFL test), below 250 (on the computer-based TOEFL test), or below 100 (on the Internet based exam). Yale also accepts the IELTS as a measure of English proficiency.
