International: TOEFL scores

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University

<p>I'm an international student who applied to CMU and had a TOEFL superscore of 114(30 on Listening, Reading and Writing, 24 on Speaking). On the website, CMU states that the mininum requirement for TOEFL score is 102. However, I recently visited the transcript from Carnegie Mellon University Math Jam at Art of Problem Solving. </p>

<p>Math</a> Jams Transcripts</p>

<p>In the section recorded as 8:00 pm, the admission officer stated the following:
We require the TOEFL if your first language is not English, no matter where you've studied or in what language. We have a requirement of 102 on the iBT with a minimum of 26 in speaking and 25 in all other sections.</p>

<p>I had no idea that they have a mininum requirement of 26 in speaking before since they stated nothing about the mininum requirement for each section on their official website.
So I did not try to retake another test to improve my speaking score. </p>

<p>Would that significantly hurt my chance if my speaking score was not over 26?</p>

<p>I don’t think you need to take other exams for attending in CMU.
But it depends on all the other information of your application.
If they could be good enough to get CMU, your TOEFL score is probably enough to get.
Maybe, you have to take SAT. So, contact with CMU’s admission officer first.
And they tell you whether take you to their school.
Anyway, TOEFL 114 is nice score, congrats.
(imma lil bit jealous of you :p)</p>
