How to Apply

Currently, more than 1,500 students from 23 countries are apart of our NJIT community.

During our admission process, we closely review your specific academic background and particular educational system in order to make the best possible admission decisions. Our evaluation includes consideration of the following factors:

Academic Preparation

All students who apply to NJIT must submit an official high school transcript in English. When evaluating your application for undergraduate admission, we are interested in understanding how you challenged yourself relative to the curriculum that was available at your school and the trends in your performance—especially your grades in math, science, and English.

Your completed coursework should include English Composition, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Chemistry and Physics. We also consider the GPA that is indicated on your high school transcript. We look for students in the top 25 percent of their class. For schools that don't use a ranking system, we consider a 3.0 GPA or higher to be equivalent.

Standardized Test Scores

SAT/ACT

All applicants must take the SAT and/or the ACT, as they provide helpful standardized context for your application as compared to our overall applicant pool. However, be assured that test scores are only one part of our application review.

• SAT school code: 2513
• ACT school code: 2580

TOEFL/IELTS

The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is required of all applicants whose first language is not English. The minimum score required is 79 for the Internet-based TOEFL exam, 213 for the computer-based TOEFL exam, 550 for the paper TOEFL exam or 6.0 for the IELTS exam. In addition, you will take a placement test in English Composition when you arrive on campus.
