What is your first language?

Sometimes they want to know how you perform in English, so they ask for this test to have a better understanding of your pronunciation and your performance in front of camera!

Cool, I like Scottish! what was your Duolingo score? I just want to know how it compares with TOEFL since you got 98 in Toefl. I am planning to take it in the future and curious to see what score can a person with 98 in Toefl get in Duolingo?

I scored 92 in Duolingo. It is a very simple test except the video interview section where i am asked to talk about genetically modified foods. -_-

Congratulation, that's a really good score. So do you know what is GSD's minimum requirement for Duolingo?

thank you! they did not indicate any minimum score for Duolingo. but according to the comparison bar, 92 in Duolingo equals to 114 in Toefl, which is a bit weird. there is no way i score 114 in Toefl :))

hey! thanks for the reply. I do hope that this is good news! may i ask, what are your toefl and duolingo scores?

TOEFL was 100(28/28/23/21), sadly Duolingo was 77. Which master course did you apply?

I applied to mdes in history and philosophy of design and media. I don't think that i will get in but anyways..

Hi joonhaenglee. It seems like a good sign that you were asked for Duolingo test. Is your reading/Listening 28 in Toefl or speaking writing?

Also, I am curious to know what date exactly they asked you for Duolingo?

hey, i guess you found a pattern here, what was your toefl score @Archism?

Currently my Toefl is 98. But I might wanna take the Duolingo in the future, and there is no clear description about the test and how it meets a school requirement. So I think since you guys seem more experienced on this, specially in terms of a school requirement, that would be really helpful and appreciated to share your experience and grades here with us!

Hi everyone,

I am Khuong. I am taking the Duolingo English test soon. Could you guys please give me some advice? I have tried the sample test in 15 minutes long. I got band 85-125, and I need above 110 for my application. Please tell me what to improve the score in DET?

Thank you very much.

Congratulation @ritarepulsa! I got in too! Same $10K

wow, congratulations to you too! 10 will not help me anyways :))

haha, I got in too. it was a good sign!

hey @joonhaenglee! congratulations!! you received any scholarship?

@ritarepulsa do you know how much is the tuition per semester without personal expenses and rent? I know the number is about $45 or $50, but I just don't know if it is for two semesters (one academic year) or only one semester?

it seems like 50K is for the whole year.

Hey! I got in MDes (Tech) too but zero scholarship offers. Waiting for ICD/ITECH but results won't be out til first or second week of April.

Hi @ritarepulsa or anyone, I am applying to GSD this year, do you have to take the english for design course in summer since your score falls below the preferred? My score also falls below the preferred score but I don't want to take the english for design course if possible. Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi guys! Congratulations!

@Archism and @deathbydesign Do you guys mind sharing your portfolios and other stats wrt your application.

Thanks in advance.
