Applicants for whom English is not their native/birth language and/or were not born in the U.S. are required to demonstrate their proficiency in English by submitting satisfactory Test of English as a foreign Language (TOEFL) or Duolingo scores taken within two years of the date of application. This requirement applies even if the applicant is a U.S. citizen, has attended American or English-speaking schools and/or colleges/universities, and is a longtime resident of English-speaking countries. Waivers for the English proficiency requirement are rare and are given solely at the discretion of the Admissions Committee. The Admissions Committee reserves the right to require an official TOEFL or Duolingo score from any applicant whose correspondence and/or application materials do not demonstrate a robust command of the English language at the undergraduate-level.
