Applying for American graduate students requires TOEFL score of 79/80 or equivalent IELTS score. The highest requirements are TOEFL 100 and IELTS 7.5. The level of language achievement requirements is mainly related to two factors:
First, the school ranking. Generally speaking, the higher the school ranking, the higher the TOEFL score requirements. The top 30 universities are different. For example, USC has no minimum requirements for language, and students with TOEFL scores above 80 and 90 are often admitted. Berkeley really has more than 80 admission cases. Of course, this is only an example and cannot be generalized.
Second, the professional nature, natural science, engineering and other science and engineering requirements are relatively low, while business, media, literature and other professional requirements will be higher, good schools generally require 100+.
