The TOEFL score must be reported by the testing agency to Princeton, in addition to the scores of the SAT or ACT, and two SAT Subject Tests. Students who have attended an English-medium secondary school for at least three years are not required to submit TOEFL results.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, yes, you will have to take the TOEFL to be admitted to Princeton as an undergrad, unless English is your native language or you&#8217;ve attended an English-speaking school for 3 or more years.<\/p>\n<h2>Princeton&#8217;s TOEFL Requirements for Graduate Students<\/h2>\n<p>Princeton&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/gradschool.princeton.edu\/admission\/applying-princeton\/english-language-tests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">requirements are pretty strict for graduate students<\/a>, and the university holds its non-native speakers to very high standards.<\/p>\n<p>You must submit a TOEFL or IELTS score if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>your native language is not English.<\/li>\n<li>your native language is not English and you have earned a master&#8217;s degree in the US, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or English-speaking Canada<\/li>\n<li>your native language is not English but you transferred to a university in the US,\u00a0the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or English-speaking Canada<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not a native English speaker, then you will most likely have to take the TOEFL or IELTS. There is one exception though: if you earned your bachelor&#8217;s degree or PhD in the US,\u00a0the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or English-speaking Canada.<\/p>\n<p>But, there&#8217;s an exception to this exception! The following countries list English as an official language, however, earning a bachelor&#8217;s degree in one of these countries does\u00a0<strong>not<\/strong> exempt you from the TOEFL\/IELTS requirements: India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Nigeria, and Singapore.<\/p>\n<h2>Minimum Score Required for Admission<\/h2>\n<p>There is no minimum score required for undergrad admissions.<\/p>\n<p>The Graduate School at Princeton also\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/gradschool.princeton.edu\/admission\/applying-princeton\/english-language-tests\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">does not have a minimum TOEFL score requirement<\/a>, due to &#8220;the nature of the graduate admission process.&#8221; However, if you score below a 28 on the Speaking section, you will be required to take an English placement test when you arrive on campus. If you don&#8217;t pass the test, you&#8217;ll have to enroll in English Language classes.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on minimum and recommended scores, don&#8217;t forget to check our <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/toefl\/toefl-scores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TOEFL scores infographic<\/a>!
