How Manhattan handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page lists TOEFL iBT and the Special Home Edition at 80. The graduate page gives only the new-scale figure of 4 and does not state a 0 to 120 equivalent; this guide does not convert it. Our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains the 1 to 6 band.

For comparison, both pages set IELTS at 6.5.

If your TOEFL score is below Manhattan's level

Neither page describes conditional admission. Undergraduates can meet the requirement in other ways, such as a full US high school, a year of full-time study at a US college, or IB Higher Level English at grade 5; graduate applicants whose programme was taught in English may qualify for a waiver.

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