Should I apply for HBS ?

[Liu Xin]

Dear MS

Nice to talk to you:)

I got a moderate TOEFL score on 100, but minimum T score HBS required is 109.

I am a reporter and TV anchor now and used to be a banker for years.

My major in college is English and I am a licensed translator with license authorized by National Ministry of Personnel.

So my question is that do I have any chance to be admitted with 100 TOEFL scores, given that my anchor+banker background is unique and can I show my capability in English by explaining appropriately?

any suggestion is appreciated

Hi,

Applying to HBS with a TOEFL below their suggested minimum score is risky. I strongly suggest you reach out to their admissions office and speak to someone about your particular situation.

Best,

Stacey
