Good TOEFL scores for top universities — and your TOEFL results
If you’re taking the TOEFL as part of your college applications, you’re
probably asking yourself, “Is my TOEFL score good enough to get me accepted to
my dream program?”
If you don’t know what score to aim for, the test stress won’t stop — even
after you’ve received your results (ETS posts TOEFL scores online about 10 days
after the test date). How do you know if your TOEFL score is good enough?
The answer: It depends on where you’re applying.
Good TOEFL results are the scores that meet (or exceed) the minimum
requirements for the program you want to attend. Each university has a
different required or recommended TOEFL score range for each of their programs.
It’s important to find out what your dream university considers a top TOEFL
score. Once you know what score to aim for, you can plan your TOEFL preparation
around that goal.
TOEFL scoring basics
The TOEFL IBT test is broken into four sections: Reading, Listening,
Speaking, and Writing. Each section is worth a maximum of 30 points, for a
possible combined score of 120.
The TOEFL is a standardized exam, which means that ETS uses a specific (and
secret) calculation to generate your final score. This process of equating
scores compensates for the fact that some versions of the TOEFL exam are more
difficult than other versions, ultimately making all scores directly
comparable.
TOEFL score ranking
As you can see from the info graphic, different universities – and even
different programs within universities – require different scores. This makes
ranking TOEFL scores extra challenging.
The important thing to understand is that there isn’t one good score.
Instead, each program has a preferred score range. Knowing your program’s
preferences will help you plan your TOEFL preparation and allow you to set a
personal score goal.

Harvard 109
Pennsylvania (Wharton) average
score = 110; no specified minimum score
Northwestern (Kellogg) average
