TOEFL!!!! If colleges don't receive my score??

<p>I can't change my recipients. Toefl website is just stupid. :/ I got a 90, and I can't send my scores to the colleges I applied. However, I wrote my score in my college app. Will they just ignore my application if they don't receive my official toefl report??? :O</p>

<p>Yes, colleges need to receive an official score report. Otherwise your application will be considered incomplete and your application might get auto-rejected (especially if the missing item is something as essential as TOEFL scores). They won’t pay attention to self-reported scores because you could easily be lying. </p>

<p>Why don’t you request additional score reports for the other colleges?</p>

<p>it costs 187 dollars. :confused: its SO much. and I’ve been in a college prep american high school in NY for two years now. and graduating there. and I’ll be applying for theater so i will audition for the schools. so sending toefl reports are just expensive and not that necessary</p>

<p>If you do not qualify for a TOEFL waiver based on your SAT scores or having lived in the US for two years (I assume you have checked that by now), I am afraid that those TOEFL score reports are necessary.</p>

<p>Sorry to hijack the thread, but I’m having problems with the TOEFL as well.
My total is somewhere around 187 dollars like the OP, but I only have 140 left on my credit card. The deadlines have passed, but I couldn’t go to the bank because they were closed for winter holidays. Should I start worrying or would they still accept my scores when I’ll be able to send them? I mean, they do take a while to get there anyway…</p>

<p>I would get them the test scores as soon as possible. They probably won’t read your file until after your application is complete, which could put you at a disadvantaged especially if you are an international student competing for a very limited amount of financial aid. (The aid budget will run out eventually…)</p>

<p>Given your temporarily limited financial resources, I would prioritize colleges that require all testing to be completed by December. If a college accepts scores from the January SAT test date, they can probably wait for TOEFL scores until the end of January too.</p>

<p>Thanks a bunch! I think all of them accept January testing, so I’m good :)</p>
