If your TOEFL score is below Tyndale's level

Neither page offers a conditional offer or pathway for a low score. Both say an interview may be required, and the undergraduate page adds that a writing and diagnostic test may be asked for and that meeting the score does not guarantee acceptance.

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