TOEFL Score Requirements for Most Popular Schools

Hi,

here are HEC requirements for scores:

"candidates whose mother tongue is not English or those who do not hold a university degree from an English-speaking institution must show a minimum TOEFL score of 100 (ibt), a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 or a minimum TOIEC score of 850."

Source: e-mail received from the school.

Thanks! I have added it to the list
Sorry Rid82 - could not resist

Good Post Thanks

Hi Rid82 and BB,


Cass Business School, City University requires TOEFL of 105, sourse: e-mail from school's MBA advisor.
Why it is higher than for most top business schools I do not understand. Last year required average TOEFL score was 100.

Average GMAT score required 650 and 620 current and previos year respectively. I will not apply to Cass.

BB, rid

Cambridge has a new requirement of 110 with a minimum of 25 in each section for 2012 and onward.

Hi,

I have a question about "Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from an English-speaking university are not required to take an English language test (i.e., they are exempt)." (from Harvard website)

I am from Turkey which is not an English speaking country, but medium language of my university is English. I have had all lessons 100% in English at my university. So, do i need to take an English language test?

Also from LBS website;

You do not need to submit your test score if:

* your undergraduate or postgraduate degree was conducted entirely in English or in an English-speaking country (degrees must be two years or longer)

Your English will be continually assessed during the admissions process.

So what u guys think?

and from Stanford;

"Students without an undergraduate or graduate degree from a university at which the primary language of instruction is English must submit results of the TOEFL, IELTS, or PTE as well."

"Are you required to take the TOEFL-IELTS-PTE?

The following examples illustrate whether or not you are required to take the TOEFL-IELTS-PTE:

Fayza from Pakistan who went to school in Islamabad where the language of instruction at her university was English is not required to take the TOEFL-IELTS-PTE."

KNN2012,

it seems pretty self-explanatory but if you want to be sure I would contact the schools admission offices.

I think it is clear that you don't need to take TOEFL. Anyway, as bseb suggested, I would ask the AdCom, just to be sure.

hi friends

i applied to chicago booth, boston college and purdue in R2 and put in the official toefl scores request on 1st jan. But the official scores havent been recieved in any university. although the toefl website is showing precessed. i dont understand.

will ad coms start evaluating my applications with my unofficial scores or will they hold the application and start evaluating my application only when they recieve the official scores??

Please respond if u have any idea.
Im reallly tensed about this.

Thanks

Hi, I'm not sure if this is how most schools proceed but I know that some schools only require a scan at first. And then later, if you're admitted, they will ask you to provide an original hard copy report.

Very good topic. Thanks!

I scored 109 on my first attempt. I want to apply to top 10 Ivy League schools.
Should I retake?

Does an improvement from 109 to let's say 115 really matter?

I don't think it matters. I don't think they will ding/admit you because of the toefl score once you've reached the minimum. This in not like GMAT

Thank you for your answer.

I decided to retake only if I have some spare time left before deadline.

thanks
