International students do not require any English language proficiency test for Stanford University admissions as the Stanford is test optional for the 2023–24 application cycle. However, the university receives English proficiency exam results from applicants whose native language is not English and/or the primary language of instruction at their secondary school is not English. Major English exams like TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo English Test, etc. are useful to determine the English proficiency of students. Stanford offers fee waivers for the Duolingo English Test to students who wish to take an English proficiency exam but feel that the cost is a financial burden.
