For international students, we require a minimum of 100 on the TOEFL. Students that submit lower scores may be eliminated from consideration. If you score lower than the minimum, request an interview. Interviews can be conducted in person or through Skype. Your goal during the interview is to demonstrate that your score might not be reflective of your abilities.
