<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I just recieved my TOEFL scores online.</p>

<p>reading 30
listening 29
writing 28
speaking 28</p>

<p>total: 115. </p>

<p>Is that enough/over the bar for MIT? I know for standardized test scores, once you’re over the bar it doesn’t matter anymore. Will my TOEFL score make up for my lousy SAT Cr score(560)?</p>

<p>If i substitute my SAT w/ my TOEFL score, when I submit my SAT subject test, they will see my SAT scores anyway. so should I report them on the MIT app? </p>

<p>Since each school only sees 1 TOEFL score, does someone who get 100 first time but got 120 second time have a better chance than I will? (I know admissions isn’t about test scores, but there I read a thread in the international students section that says Matt said MIT discriminates between 90, 100, 110, 120).</p>

<p>So, what’s your opinion? Are there any MIT admissions officers on the forum that could answer the question as well?</p>

<p>This is the only one I can answer –

You can report your SAT score or not; if your TOEFL score is relatively better, that’s the score that will be used to evaluate you, and the CR score will be ignored.</p>

<p>hey Mollie!</p>

<p>Sorry, i just wanted to confirm,
you mean, say I got a 600 on SAT cr, and 120/120 on TOEFL, even if I report both scores, they’ll ignore the cr and use teh TOEFL to evaluate me? How do they know if I intend to substitute the TOEFL for SAT? Do they just pick the highest score (as with SAT and ACT?</p>
