Thread: What's seen as a high TOEFL score for ivy league?

From what I heard, people who score 100 or even 110 have usually problems with geting their CR score above 600/650. Even many top schools which recommend the applicants to have at least 110 are fully satisfied with 600 or 650. I have 690 on CR too and I wont take TOEFL at all, because most of the schools on my list answered, that it is sufficent proof of my english proficiency... Even Penn or Williams are satisfied with CR above 650. What I...

Thanks! i'll probably screw up, but i think positively at last, scores are not the only factors..

@SwedeToUS TOEFL tests only English while the SAT tests aptitude assuming native-speaker-level English. Speaking a language well and being intelligent are not as much interrelated abilities as people think.

Yes maybe CR or WR could be harder but MATH and the subjects tests like Physics,even Math are easier.. But maybe you have right!

Thanks so much for your reply! I'm not applying to Yale, but for Brown transfer. My score was 99 (bad day) I sincerely do not want to retake the 4 hour exam for being one point off... :/ does anyone know for brown?

but seriously guys, not even native english speakers use sat words in everday coversations. many americans learn a few months before the actual test. it just shows how good u r at learning by heart in 80% of cases

Quote: For Korean universities, TOEFL scores should be at least 117 or above. It's not a requirement. This is a score range that will be considered as a good score by the majority in Korea. Yonsei University (one of the top in Korea) requires 107 from this year onwards. But so many people in Korea get extremely high scores and as TOEFL is more important in Korean universities than it is for US universities, Koreans will work even harder...

Basically if it's over 110, then it's okay FOR SURE for american colleges. This is because native speakers that take the TOEFL (you know, different passport, but lived in an English speaking country all their lives) score around 105-115. You know how you score a few points down in the listening section cuz you're sleepy, or because the test instructor takes away your notes paper, or the tricky questions. Above 100 is good, over...

Good Luck Literak!! Let us know how it goes!

TOEFL cannot be a deciding factor let's face it. Its an awfully easy test and colleges know it. If the minimum score is 100, the score of 101 and 120 wouldn't have ANY difference they only require it to see if you speak enough english as long as it is above that score don't fuss about it its not SAT. TOEFL is ridiculously easy and therefore it is only fair that it does not matter much
