What TOEFL score do you need for Cornell University?

Applicants whose first language is not English, or who have not attended a school taught mainly in English, must show proficiency. Cornell accepts self-reported scores from the Common Application or its English Language Proficiency form, and admitted students then send official scores through ETS under code 2098.

For comparison, the same page sets a minimum competitive IELTS Academic score of 7.5.

The pages list no conditional admission or English pathway. You can add a new score through the English Language Proficiency form after applying, so a retest can still reach your file.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Cornell programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
