Is the International English Languate Testing System (IELTS) mandatory for all international applicants?
International applicants whose first language is not English (this includes applicants currently enrolled in U.S. institutions) must present evidence of their ability to carry on their studies in English. Such applicants must take the IELTS. The IELTS requirement will be waived (1) for students who have attended schools that provide instruction primarily in English or (2) for students who have been in the U.S. for 3 years and will have received a degree from an American institution before entering MIT. Include a letter requesting the waiver with your supplemental materials. A minimum score of 7.0 for the IELTS is required. Official IELTS scores must be sent by the testing service to this Department before the application will be acted on. Photocopies of IELTS scores will not be accepted. TOEFL scores are no longer accepted for admission to DMSE.
