Hello,
I took the toefl and got a score of 105 ( 28 R 27 L 26 S 24 W) and most of the colleges I plan to apply to require a minimum of 100. However, I was wondering if I should retake the test in order to get a better score, especially because I want to apply to Yale, that requires a minimum of 105. Should I retake it or the admissions offices would take either a 105 or a 110 the same?
There is no point in taking again; once you hit the school’s minimum, they check the box, and move on to the next category.
Okay, thank you very much! Do you think that this applies even to Yale since I’m on the limit?
Yes
Okay then, thank you very much
Yes, it’s exactly as skieurope said: they just check you meet their threshold and move to the part they actuall evaluate, from your essay to your course rigor to your test scores to ECs…
