The effect of TOEFL iBT Score on graduate admission

Applying to College
1

<p>Hello guys,</p>

<p>I am a senior in Mechanical Engineering. I am very eager to apply for The Mechanical Engineering PhD program at US universities.</p>

<p>As you may know, the usual minimum requirement for the TOEFL iBT score for Mechanical Engineering departments is around 79 or 80. Mine is 86 with a score of 26 in the speaking section.</p>

<p>I would like to know if passing the minimum requirement is enough or not.
It is worth mentioning that I have five publications (one book (in press), 1 journal paper and 3 conference papers). My CGPA is 17.7/20 and I am studying Chemistry beside Mechanical Eng. as my second major. In fact I would like to know if other sections of my resume will compensate the TOEFL score or not.
Thanks a lot.</p>
