Hello,
I just attended LBS MBA online webinar, and I heard that they are looking for a TOEFL score of 110 but could not hear that message clearly due to my internet connection problem. Could someone confirm this please?
Thanks.
I can confirm that 110 is usually the base score they announce as recommendation for TOEFL. However, as it happens with the GMAT, where the average is around 710 and you still have colleagues that might have lower scores than that, with the TOEFL I expect it to be the same. 110 puts English just one little step below your native language, but I believe that if, for example, you have a great CV, good references, solid GMAT and so on and so forth, it will not be a 100-109 TOEFL that will get you out of the admission process.
Still, in my opinion, if you do the GMAT first, your TOEFL should be as easy as it gets. Some question structures are the same, plus you can practice a bit with online exams to lose the shyness of speaking to a computer. GMAT focuses a lot more on detail than TOEFL.
