Is TOEFL required before deadline?

by dev.gavande » Mon Aug 13, 2012 7:15 pm
I am planning to apply for few schools in Sep end. But I have no time to prepare for TOEFL.
Is it acceptable if the TOEFL scores reach before decision deadlines and not application deadlines?

All applicants who are from countries where English is not an official language or who did not complete their basic legal education entirely in the English language must take the TOEFL within two years prior to submitting their applications. IELTS scores are not accepted in place of TOEFL scores. Applicants with at least two consecutive years of university education conducted entirely in English may request a waiver of the TOEFL. Waivers are not automatic, and are granted at the sole discretion of the School Graduate Program to which you are applying for.

NOTE: If you have not completed at least two consecutive years of university education conducted entirely in English, your request for a TOEFL waiver will be automatically denied, depending on each schools TOEFL admission process.

You may submit your application without your TOEFL score, but you must state in your application when you took the exam (or when you will be taking it) so that the school will know when to expect your TOEFL score report. Note that you may be at a disadvantage compared to other applicants who have had their TOEFL reports sent in on time.

new TOEFL scores can be accepted throughout the admissions process. However, you may retake the TOEFL and arrange for ETS to have your new score report sent as soon as it is available, depending upon the schoools TOEFL allowance.

Hmmm, I believe only SOME schools allow you to post your TOEFL AFTER deadlines. Some don't. Make sure you check with EACH school individually.
