Does Rice waive the TOEFL/IELTS if our undergrads were completely taught in English?

Appreciate if someone could help!

Thank you!

Hi. They do waive these tests if medium of undergraduate instruction was English. Almost every school does.

Hey!
I submitted my TOEFL since other schools I was applying to required TOEFL.

As mentioned on Rice's Website:

"International applicants whose most recent degree was not taught primarily in English must submit an unofficial copy of an English proficiency test score. We accept the following tests:

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)
Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE)

All English proficiency test scores are valid for 2 years, and we will consider your highest score. To begin reviewing your application, we only require you to submit your unofficial score report."

Best,

Does anyone know how to convert a 10 point CGPA grading system to a US 4?

I did check the WES online tool but it has no option for a CGPA system. I am from India.

Is this conversion mandatory before submitting the application?

It is mandatory
But I was also confused coz the Wes website has different passing percentage than my university system

I used the closest parameters available on Wes and mentioned a note of the deviations in the applications(I used the optional essay if I remember correctly)

This is the response I got when I reached out to the adcom regarding this:

"You are welcome to submit your full transcript without a GPA conversion. If upon initial review the Admissions Committee determines they need a full transcript/credential evaluation, we will reach out."

I did not convert mine and submitted my score on a 10 point system. Hope it helps.

I actually converted mine.
Apparently the grade converted to an even 4.0 so I thought that that could be a strategically beneficial step to enhance my profile.
Rice gives you am option to submit any.

Got it TheStoryteller Thanks for the information. I see you have an admit from Rice. Can you tell us approximately how long after the deadline did you hear back about the interview?

Hi, I had applied a month before the deadline(the day of the app fee waiver deadline), and received interview notification within a week of the final deadline. Also, received the admit 3 days after the admit deadline.
