I'm considering transferring to Baruch College and am an international student. I'm trying to understand if there's a specific minimum TOEFL score required for transfer applications. Any insight into Baruch's requirements would be much appreciated!
For international students who wish to transfer to Baruch College, the admission requirements do include English proficiency tests if your native language is not English or if your education was not completed in an English-speaking country.
While each application is evaluated holistically, the recommended minimum for the TOEFL iBT (Internet-based test) is 80 for undergraduate students. This is not a hard cutoff, but it is generally suggested to have a score above this minimum to strengthen your application. Apart from TOEFL, Baruch also accepts IELTS (recommended score of 6.5) or PTE Academic (recommended score of 54).
Keep in mind that meeting the minimum TOEFL score doesn't guarantee admission, as Baruch will also consider your academic performance, coursework, and other elements of your application. It's always helpful to enhance other parts of your application like your essays and extracurricular activities to increase your chances of getting accepted. Have a strong focus on showcasing your academic strengths, interest in the field of study, and commitment towards contributing to the Baruch community.
