[new] Grad school in the US (none / 0) (#1)
by Cotati on Sun Mar 02, 2008 at 01:54:24 PM PDT

If by "publications" you mean papers published in peer-reviewed academic journals, then I would guess that the average for new incoming grad students in the US is zero, and the average percentage of incoming grads would be close to that. It might be higher for the top several schools or so (Harvard, Princeton, MIT, Berkeley). I would be surprised if it were a requirement, but then you are trying to size up the competition, eh? It probably matters less at lower-ranked schools like NYU.

Lots of schools have example exams on their website along with some description of what constitutes a passing score. Some exceptions are those schools which only use oral exams (Harvard?), but there the students also have web sites describing the exam experience.

Sorry, don't know about TOEFL.
