TOEFL score requirements for various schools
(work in progress)
Notes:
- 1. All requirements are for TOEFL iBT format, unless specified otherwise
2. All information was taken from official schools' sites.
3. Even if school does not have an official cut-off score, or if this score seems ridiculously low, it is an applicant's interest to check an average score of the accepted students in order to form a realistic understanding of what is required.
4. Overall, it seems you will be OK with 100 for the vast majority of schools, but you will need closer to at least 110 for the most competitive ones.
