For international students, is there a minimum TOEFL score that must be achieved?
Yes. Applicants are expected to achieve a minimum score of 577 for the TOEFL PBT or 233 for the TOEFL CBT. A score of 600 (PBT) or 250 (CBT) is preferred. On the TOEFL iBT, our minimum required score is 90, with the following minimum section requirements: reading, 23; speaking, 22; listening, 23; writing, 22. The preferred TOEFL iBT score is 100, with individual section scores of 26 or above. If you score fall between the minimum and preferred, you will be required to take an English language course at Harvard the summer before you enroll.
