International Students: Will my application be reviewed if it is missing the Financial Certificate? Yes. This will not delay the application review process. If your department wants to admit you, we will contact you to request that you submit the Financial Certificate. However, because the issuance of student visas is often a time-consuming process, the financial certificate should be submitted as soon as possible. Without the certificate, you cannot be formally admitted. International Students: Can the TOEFL be waived? TOEFL scores are required of all applicants who are citizens of countries where English is not an official language. An exception is made for applicants who hold a degree from a college or university in a country where English is the official language and the medium of instruction. No other exceptions are made. International students who have earned a degree from a university in an English-speaking country are not required to submit TOEFL scores. If admitted, however, those students will be required to take the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) placement test prior to registering for courses. This test is necessary to determine if additional English studies are advisable. Similarly, international students who score lower than 600 on the paper-based TOEFL or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL are also required to take the EFL placement test. International students: What is the minimum TOEFL score for admission? The minimum TOEFL score for admission to CCAS graduate programs is 550 on the paper-based test (PBT) or 213 on the computer-based test (CBT). Small exceptions to these minimums may be granted in exceptional cases.
*** International Students must take the TOEFL and GRE. They must also complete the Financial Certificate stating how they intend to pay for their education and other expenses while studying in the USA. Please fill out this form the best you can, providing bank statements, sponsor letters and anything else that can help your case. Do NOT provide copies - GWU needs the originals. The Financial Certificate form is found in the application packet.***
