<p>I just did the TOEFL and scored 273!</p>

<p>Is this good enough for Ivy League (harvard and princeton)?</p>

<p>Should I retake it?</p>

<p>The test was very easy for me I was really stressed and rushed thorugh it and I got very boring topics over all: opera, geology and that type of stuff.</p>

2

<p>Nah~~...no Point Of Retaking..toefl Is Realli A Pass/fail Test...above 250..no Problem</p>

3

<p>serious?</p>

<p>I shouldnt inidcate it in my app?</p>

<p>I have a friend who score 293 and I think I can really score that or above!</p>

4

<p>er..sure..if u have money and are realli bored...u can retake....</p>

5

<p>I dont want really to retake it! Its the most boring test and it costs 140</p>

<p>but if that would hurt my chances of admission I would surelly retake so thats what I want to know</p>

6

<p>it does not have effect....trust me..........as long as it passes 250..everything is set..worry about other stuff.....</p>

<p>i got 263 with 6.0 on writing is no difference with ur score when adcom compares 2 profiles....</p>

<p>btw..TOEFL is more a checking test to see whether u have sufficient eng skills than a comparable scoring test ...</p>

Nooooooooo !!! look it doesn't matter if you got 300 or 253 .. you just have to score above 250..thats it..its like a cut-off, so dont go through the pains of giving it again, 273 is perfectly ok :)</p>

<p>thanks a lot I am very glad to know that!!</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Really, you shouldn't retake!!!</p>

<p>All of the above posters are right!</p>

<p>I got 263, and got into 5 ivies!!!</p>

<p>TOEFL is a mere formality... anything above 250 works. </p>

<p>If your SAT verbal is good, some unis even waive it</p>

<p>you need the TOEFL to get the Student Visa right?</p>

12

<p>Its defly not a prerequisite..not a mandatory document for applying for a visa. Altho you never kno, the interviewer can ask for any transcript so its always safer to have ur TOEFL scores.
Plus, the scores are valid for about 2 years or so...and its an easy exam. Might as well give it n get it over with :p</p>

<p>GoCollege, I got 263 and got into Penn, John Hopkins, Tufts, Boston U, UCSD. If your score appears mediocre like 200--, you should retake it. But your 273---I consider it stellar.</p>
