Are standardized tests required for admission?
The only standardized test score which must be submitted is the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) for candidates whose first language is not English. The requirement for TOEFL is based on native language, not citizenship. Official scores from the two years prior to the application deadline must be sent directly by the Education Testing Service (ETS) to the Office of Admission of the School of Health Sciences. Student score reports or photo copies of official score reports from other institutions are not considered official. Allow ample time to register and take this exam as it takes 5-6 weeks for the paper score to be received by Simmons College. Minimum TOEFL scores for consideration: 600 (paper based), 230 (computer based), or 100 (internet based). The TOEFL is waived for applicants who have graduated at the bachelor’s or master’s level from a regionally accredited U.S. institution or a post secondary institution abroad that is recognized by the Ministry of Education in t
The SAT Reasoning Test (SAT I) (CEEB code #3987) or ACT (Code #0618) is strongly recommended but not required for admission. Yale does not require the SAT II or Achievement Test results.
