FAQs

• I am an international student and I cannot afford the application fee. Can I get an application fee waiver?

  

  Unfortunately, we cannot offer application fee waivers for international students at this time. This policy is in effect across all programs governed by The Graduate School (TGS).

• What institution and department codes should I use for the GRE and TOEFL?

  

  The institution code for Northwestern University is 1565 for both exams, though a GRE score is not required for admission. For TOEFL, the department code for The Graduate School is 01.

• I'm an international applicant whose native language is not English. What must I do to demonstrate proficiency in the English language?

  

  You are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), or the Michigan English Test (MET). The Graduate School considers 550 to be the minimum acceptable paper-based TOEFL score, 213 to be the minimum acceptable computer-based TOEFL score, 90 to be the minimum acceptable internet-based TOEFL score, or 7 to be the minimum acceptable IELTS score for both MS and PhD applicants. For the MET test, The Graduate School considers 61 to be the minimum acceptable score for PhD applicants and 54 for Master's applicants. To be eligible for a teaching assistantship, international applicants must submit an official Test of Spoken English (TSE) score of at least 50 or score at least 26 on the TOEFL speaking section.

• Should I specify the MS or PhD degree in my application?

  

  Applicants pursuing a doctoral degree should select the PhD option. Students pursuing a PhD may also obtain a Master's degree during their doctoral career at Northwestern University. You should select the MS option ONLY if you are seeking a terminal Master's degree. Note that no financial aid is offered to those seeking the terminal MS degree.
