TOEFL Requirement Instructions
Applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) with a score at or above the minimum of 79 (internet-based). TOEFL scores must be obtained within two years of the start of the program (May 1, 2022 and after for 2024 admission). TOEFL scores of 90 or better are considered competitive by the Admissions Committee. TOEFL score reports dated from Jan. 1, 2022 – April 30, 2022 will be considered for review by the Admissions Committee. If selected to bench test and interview, candidates with Jan. 1, 2022 – April 30, 2022 scores will be asked to submit an updated TOEFL prior to our interview day to meet our admissions requirements and submission timeframe (two years from the start of the program). You must make arrangements to submit official TOEFL scores to ADEA CAAPID. TOEFL submission instructions are located online. Note: IDP interview dates have no bearing on TOEFL score timeframes. We adhere to program start date to determine TOEFL score timeframes. Note: Other dental schools may have a different TOEFL policy. Please be sure to consult with each specific school you apply to for their individual TOEFL policy. Note: Our program does not accept the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam to meet our English Language Proficiency requirement.
