All applicants from non-English speaking countries who did not receive their full-time legal education entirely in the English language must take the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) examination within two years prior to submitting their applications.
Will you accept IELTS scores in place of the TOEFL?
No, we do not accept IELTS scores in place of TOEFL scores.
What is the minimum TOEFL score required?
For the internet-based test (iBT), we require a total score of at least 100, with at least 25 in each of the four subsections. For the paper-based test (PBT), we require a score of at least 600, with at least 60 in each of the three subsections and at least 5.0 on the Test of Written English (TWE).
Will my application be reviewed if my TOEFL score does not meet the required minimum?
Yes, your application will still be reviewed. However, you will be at a significant disadvantage compared to the other applicants whose TOEFL scores do meet Harvard Law School’s required minimum.
What is the TOEFL reporting code for Harvard Law School?
To ensure that your TOEFL score reaches the Harvard Law School Graduate Program Admissions Office, please use the following reporting code: Institution code: 3457, Department code: Graduate Law.
If I have more than one TOEFL score, which one will you consider?
We consider all valid TOEFL results (tests taken within two years prior to your application), but we pay closer attention to your most recent scores.
Am I eligible to get a waiver of the TOEFL requirement?
Applicants with at least two consecutive years of full-time university education conducted entirely in English may request a waiver of the TOEFL. Waivers are not automatic, and are granted at the sole discretion of the Harvard Law School Graduate Program, whose decision is final. To submit a TOEFL waiver request, go to the “Supplemental Forms” page of the online application and follow the instructions.
NOTE: If you have not completed at least two consecutive years of full-time university education conducted entirely in English, your request for a TOEFL waiver will be automatically denied.
What happens if my TOEFL score is not available by the deadline?
You may submit your application without your TOEFL score, but you must state in your application when you took the exam (or when you will be taking it) so that we know when to expect your TOEFL score report. Note that you may be at a disadvantage compared to other applicants who have had their TOEFL reports sent to us on time.
