REQUIRED TESTING
To qualify, applicants must take the SAT Reasoning Test of the College
Board. (Applicants in the People's Republic of China, where the SAT
is not available, are exempt from this requirement.) Non-native
speakers of English also must take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language (TOEFL), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing
System) in place of the TOEFL. Students should receive a score that
demonstrates sufficient proficiency in the English language to function
well in a highly demanding academic environment. A score close to 600
on the paper-based TOEFL or 250 on the computer-based TOEFL, or a
"7" on the IELTS, would be evidence of adequate English language
ability. (A high score - 650 or better - on the critical reading
section of the SAT may also demonstrate the necessary English language
proficiency. In such cases, submitting the TOEFL or IELTS results is
not necessary.) These examinations must be taken by January 1. All
examinations are administered on several dates, with a registration
deadline approximately six weeks before the exam. Please be sure to
list Wesleyan University (undergraduate) as an official score
recipient.
