Official TOEFL Scores

Overview

Official TOEFL iBT and TOEFL iBT Home Edition scores are both accepted. Submit your scores electronically to VMCAS directly from Educational Testing Services (ETS) using TOEFL code D695. Paper copies are not accepted.

Official TOEFL scores from ETS can be received by VMCAS at any point during the application cycle, even after your application is submitted; however, some programs may have a deadline by which they want your scores posted. Once your official TOEFL scores are attached to your application, they cannot be removed.

Submitting Your Official TOEFL Scores to VMCAS

  1. Self-report your TOEFL scores in the Standardized Tests section of the application and include your Test Registration ID. You can self-report scores in both the 0-120 and 1-6 scoring ranges. Additionally, enter your date of birth in the Biographic Information section. These must be listed for your official scores to be matched to your application.
  2. Provide code D695 to ETS and request that your scores be released. Check with ETS about their turnaround and processing times.
  3. After ETS processing, scores are sent to VMCAS in batches and then posted to applications weekly. Only scores that you requested using code D695 will post to your application. You can view scores attached to your application under Official Test Scores in the Statuses section on the left side of the application dashboard. 

Missing Test Scores

It is your responsibility to follow up on any missing TOEFL scores in a timely manner. Before contacting VMCAS customer service, first confirm if and when ETS sent your scores to VMCAS.

If you confirmed that ETS sent your scores to VMCAS and your scores are not posted at least three weeks after your test date, contact customer service and provide them with the following details:

  • First and last names
  • Date of birth
  • CAS ID
  • TOEFL registration number
  • School code and name
  • Test date
  • Date scores were sent by ETS

We will use this information to determine if we have received the batch and to locate your scores, if possible.

Note: if your name or date of birth appears differently on your TOEFL than it does on your VMCAS application, your scores will not automatically post to your account. This often happens with applicants with hyphens, apostrophes, etc., in their names. Wait until ETS processes the scores, then contact customer service so they can manually connect the scores to your application.
