What IELTS score do you need for the University of Richmond?

Richmond waives the requirement for students with at least four years in an academically rigorous English-medium secondary school, ACT English 28, SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 660, or an A or B equivalent grade in AP, IB (5 to 7) or A-level English. A waiver is applied only after an initial review confirms it, which can take many weeks, but a pending waiver does not stop your application being read.

PTE Academic is not on the list. Test-optional admission covers the SAT and ACT only, not English testing. InitialView and Vericant interviews are optional supplements and do not replace a test or waiver.

English test results need an official score report; self-reporting is allowed only for the SAT and ACT. The TOEFL institution code is 5569. For IELTS, give the exact institution address even for e-delivery: University of Richmond Undergraduate Admission, 142 UR Drive, Richmond, VA 23173. If sending through the testing agency is a financial burden, Richmond accepts official reports sent by your high school.

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