What is the IELTS score required for studying in the United States?

In recent years, the application scope of IELTS has broken through the scope of Commonwealth countries and has been recognized by more than 65,438+0,500 institutions in the United States. Wang Jing, director of the American Department of Jiahua Shida, told reporters that some schools in the United States recognize IELTS scores for both undergraduate and graduate students, while others only recognize IELTS scores for undergraduate or graduate students. For example, top universities such as Yale University and Harvard University only recognize IELTS scores when graduate students are admitted. Like Illinois Institute of Technology, only undergraduates recognize IELTS, and the postgraduate admission of this school does not recognize IELTS scores at present. Moreover, it can be seen from the admission standards of various universities that some American universities require high IELTS scores, but low TOEFL scores. Some universities only recognize IELTS scores of some colleges, such as Harvard School of Public Health and Yale School of Arts and Sciences. Students should pay attention to the school website when applying. Therefore, when applying to American universities, especially the former 100 universities with fierce competition, students are advised to try their best to take the new TOEFL.

The top 50 universities in the United States, whether undergraduate or graduate, have higher requirements for IELTS scores, and IELTS generally needs to reach at least 7 points. If you apply for business schools and law schools of the top 50 universities, as well as graduate students majoring in media, you must reach at least IELTS 7.5.

Points. To apply for an American ordinary university, IELTS must be at least 6.0, and graduate students must be at least 6.5.
