TOEFL SCORE REQUIREMENT FOR HBS

by ruzgar » Mon Jun 18, 2007 5:13 am
Hello Stacy,

I got 627 in Toefl Paper Based Test.
The problem is that HBS is requiring 267 in Computer Based Test, which is approximately equal to 630 in PBT. It is only one level bellow what is required! It is so close, and I am very disapointed because of this, especially because HBS says that it discourages any applicant with TOEFL score lower than 267.

What do you suggest me? Retake it? It will be the 3rd time in 5 months! I am sure I can do better, but I am getting unmotivated because of this. The worst is that I was studying for GMAT and now I am losing confidence.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards.

If you are sure you can do better - yes, you should retake. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but HBS is too competitive to take a risk.
