- If your degree is from a country such as India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, China, Africa, etc., where English is not the primary language, even if your degree was taken in English, you MUST submit an academic TOEFL / IELTS test score.

- TOEFL / IELTS official test scores MUST be submitted by January 15 – no exceptions. Applicants are advised to write their tests well in advance of the January 15 application deadline.
