Sending scores, waivers and the IELTS comparison
The graduate admissions page says applicants who do not qualify for a waiver must have an official score sent directly from the testing agency to Graduate Admissions before their file is reviewed. It does not accept IELTS Indicator, TOEFL Basics, or letters and certificates in place of a listed exam. A waiver is possible if you graduated from a college or university in an eligible country where English was the primary mode of instruction. The page does not state a validity period, Duolingo subscores or an assistantship level.
Compared with IELTS: Bradley lists Duolingo 115 alongside IELTS Academic 6.5 on the same page.
