GMAT Score:760
by hcueva » Thu Sep 22, 2011 7:50 am
A friend of mine (doesn't have a BTG account) just scored 108 in the TOEFL iBT. There's obviously not enough time for him to take it again before round 1 deadlines (breakdown was a 30, two 27's and a 24 in speaking).

He wrote to HBS and asked just how formal a rule it is to score 109+ and they replied "it is a guideline. Greetings".

What the hell does that mean? He's got a pretty decent V GMAT and the rest of his profile is competitive.

Is it worth it to take a shot with a 108, or is it too big a risk? Have you ever heard of anyone with a 108- getting into HBS?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

Tell your friend that its ok but he shouldnt take risk.

He should never be too tired to get his credentials excellent instead of being regret in the end.Don't give Harvard an excuse to put your application behind any other. Remember that the TOEFL score will never grant you admission but it could definitely take you out of the race.

I wouldn't rely on a chance of not being put out of race. Better do another test. Try everything you can, otherwise he might regret it!
