Dear Members,
I am a foreign medical graduate with lot of health care experience. I also have lot of US hands on clinical experience and good LORs. I have also done the school prerequisites. The school I am interested in needs a TOEFL of 100. I got a score of 99.Will the school look at the overall big picture or will reject my application because of the TOEFL scores? I am applying in this cycle. Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

A 99 where they want a 100 shouldn't disqualify you in my opinion. 99 means you are quite proficient in English and that's what they're looking for. But it all depends on how rigid the school is in their approach. If I were you I'd try to get in touch with someone who has insight into the application process and just ask them. Your health care experience should be much more important than one point on an English test IMO.
