Grade Point Average (GPA)

Most international applicants will not have a Grade Point Average (GPA) that is based on the 4-point scale used in the United States. If this is the case for you, please enter 0.00 on the electronic application. GPA information is used for statistical purposes and your transcripts will clarify your academic achievement.

Scores for TOEFL or IELTS

A TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS (International English Language Testing System) test score is required if your undergraduate education was completed in a non-English speaking country. Even if you hold a master's-level degree from a U.S. or other English-speaking country you must still take the TOEFL or IELTS test.

• Your scores must be current within 2 years of the semester you are applying to.
• You are exempt from submitting TOEFL or IELTS scores if you are a U.S. trained undergraduate or international applicant coming from English-speaking countries with a minimum of 3 years undergraduate education where the mode of instruction was English.
• If you are missing required test scores, your application will not be reviewed by the graduate admissions committee.
• The minimum paper-based TOEFL score is 550. The minimum computer-based TOEFL score is 213
• The minimum IBT-internet based TOEFL is Writing 22, Speaking 23, Reading 21, Listening 17.
• An acceptable IELTS score is bandwidth 7.
• Your program may have higher requirements for language intensive areas such as history, English, psychology, and others.  

Financial Documentation

If you have received an offer of admission without financial support, you must submit a Certification of Funds along with financial documentation before you can receive an official certificate of admission and eligibility (I-20 or DS-2019).

Financial documentation is not required for New Brunswick programs until you are offered admission. Financial documents must be original and current, dating no more than 9 months prior to the term of admission.

You must also show proof you can finance your first year of education and living expenses and provide a plan and sources for funding future years.

For single students, awards of assistantships and fellowships by Rutgers generally satisfy the financial certification requirements for admission.

Foreign Student Adviser’s Report (FSAR)

International students recommended for admission who are presently attending a university and are transferring their SEVIS (Student and Exchange Visitor Information System) ID to Rutgers are required to submit a FSAR.

International students on CPT (Curricular Practical Training) and OPT (Optional Practical Training) are required to submit a FSAR.
