Princeton, on the other hand, forces international students to take either the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), International English Language Testing System (IELTS), and Pearson Test of English (PTE) tests, which, in the past, held a monopoly in the English language certification field. Harvard has even gone one step further and no longer requires an English proficiency test in the first place. Every other Ivy that requires proof of English proficiency - Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, and Cornell - all accept the DET. Princeton is the only remaining Ivy League institution that does not accept the Duolingo English Test (DET) as part of its application process for international students. Yet, to this day, Princeton remains the only Ivy League institution with an English Proficiency Testing requirement that severely hinders accessibility to international students, particularly those of low-income backgrounds from developing countries. We’ve come a long way in giving that motto the justice it deserves: from the new financial aid policy, to offering cost waivers to low-income applicants, Princeton proclaims that it aims to give everyone, everywhere equal opportunity to apply to our institution, regardless of their ethnic, national, or socio-economic background. That’s one of Princeton’s long-standing guiding principles.
“ High-quality education accessible for all.” Furthermore, the piece has been updated to reflect the fact that the listed prices refer to the TOEFL, not the IELTS or PTE exams, and to clarify that not all are run by "companies." On November 9, this article was further updated to clarify that Princeton accepts the Pearson Test of English (PTE) rather than the Preliminary English Test (PET).
