Entry requirements
Apply online or with the Common App (USD 50 fee) and send official transcripts, diplomas and leaving-exam results in English, a passport copy, two recommendation letters and a 250-650 word essay. Pace generally looks for the top 50% of the class or a 2.5 GPA or higher.
Direct entry needs TOEFL iBT 80 (or 4.0 on the new scale), IELTS 6.5, PTE 54, Duolingo 115, TOEFL Essentials 9.0 or Cambridge 176, with results no more than two years old.
SAT ERW 520 or ACT English 20 can replace TOEFL/IELTS, as can IB English 4+, AP English 4+, or IGCSE/O or A Level English grade E or higher.
Pace does not require the SAT or ACT for most applicants under its test optional policy.
Completing the Pre-Undergraduate programme at Pace's English Language Institute also satisfies the English requirement.
