Any loose possibility on Columbia's TOEFL requirement?
Wed Aug 06, 2008 11:19 AM
I do get a total score of 103 (reading 26, listening 26, speaking 26 and writing 25). I do not meet the minimum requirement of 105, but meet the minimum requirement of each section.

It is a very strange score cuz so far I am the only one (around me) get a lower score on total amount but meet the minimum requirement for each section...

Shall i need to re-try the test again or I will have any possiblity?

Thanks for your answer.

Actually, I'm not very familiar with Columbia's requirements, but I can say that almost all law schools require a minimum of 100. Your score was very good, and I don't think you need to worry about that. I think it will be enough. Have you only applied to Columbia?
Best of luck!

Mila, thank you very much for your reply.

I understand that I have exceed the 100 requirement of most law school. However, CLS has a 105 minimum requirement.

Is there any one has the real case that CLS has enroll some guy who do not meet 105 requirement but meet minimum requirement of each section?

You shouldn't have many problems with the Admissions Office because of your score; I don't want to say to don't mind at all about your toefl score, but, once you demonstrate your language skills, they consider if you meet all the other requirements and your position among the applicants. for example, if you apply from a foreign country (or you're trained from a foreign law school), you will probably "face" the other candidates from your same country... finally, don't worry too much about your toefl score, as I got 92 and anybody rejected my application for this reason!

Irony, anyone?

if your credentials are strong, columbia won't focus too much on your toefl. I was admitted 2008 though I only had 101 Pts. So good luck...
