Candidates are strongly encouraged to distribute their high school work over as many of the academic areas as possible. A minimum TOEFL score of 500 or higher on the paper-based test, 173 or higher on the computer-based test or 61 or higher on the internet-based test is required for admission. The STEP test (offered mainly in Japan) may be taken in lieu of the TOEFL. The minimum STEP score is a “Grade 2A”.
