Hi fellow Gmatclubbers, I decided to prepare a quick reference list with the minimum TOEFL requirements for most popular schools. Hope it will be of some use! TOEFL score requirements for various schools (work in progress) Notes: 1. All requirements are for TOEFL iBT format, unless specified otherwise 2. All information was taken from official schools’ sites. 3. Even if school does not have an official cut-off score, or if this score seems ridiculously low, it is an applicant’s interest to check an average score of the accepted students in order to form a realistic understanding of what is required. 4. Overall, it seems you will be OK with 100 for the vast majority of schools, but you will need closer to at least 110 for the most competitive ones. TOEFL Requirements for US Schools School TOEFL Score Notes Harvard 109 strongly recommended by adcom Stanford 100 Wharton Required no cut-off score; average is given as 111 MIT Not Required may be included if an applicant wishes to do so Chicago Booth 104 otherwise ‘admission would be contingent upon meeting the minimum scores or other language requirements’ – info from their site Kellogg Required no cut-off score specified. Note that average is 109 (2011) Columbia Required no cut-off score specified Tuck Required no cut-off score specified Berkeley (Haas) 68 note that average given for reference is 113 Michigan (Ross) 100 Duke (Fuqua) Required no cut-off score specified Darden 100 not a strict requirement Yale 100 NYU Stern Required no cut-off score specified Cornell Johnson Required require 600 for old paper-based tests (with 5 in TWE), which corresponds to 100 in new format (with 25 in Writing) UCLA (Anderson) 87 they note that you should have a good excuse for anything below 100 CMU (Tepper) Required no min score for TOEFL iBT is given, but they specify 600 for old Paper-Based test, so I think it’s 100 for iBT TOEFL Requirements for Top European Schools School TOEFL Score Notes IMD Not Required TOEFL is not required, but there is general requirement of ‘strong command of spoken and written English’ (evaluated through GMAT, essays and interview I guess) INSEAD 105 note that those for whom English is native language, must show knowledge of another language as entry requirement LBS Required no specific ‘cut-off’ score is specified. Last year, there was an unofficial recommendation of 109+, but people with lesser scores could get in. IE 100 IESE 100 Note that IESE requires 100 for its FT MBA and 93 for its Executive MBA HEC 100 Alternatively you can present IELTS score of 6.5 or TOIEC score of 850 TOEFL Requirements for UK Schools School TOEFL Score Notes Ashridge 100 Cambridge (Judge) 110 min 25 in each section Cass 105 Cranfield 100 Manchester 100 no individual element must be below 20 Oxford (Said) 109 this is new requirement for 2010 Warwick 105 *** More schools to be added soon!

Hi guys, there are some scores that has not been updated. For example: Haas Berkeley requires a minimum score of 90 on IBT.

Thanks for sharing this informative post with us....

I scored 104 on my TOEFL iBT, took the test in Nov'08, wanted to apply to SAID. Now this new guideline -> so it means i have to retake or skip SAID?

1. All requirements are for TOEFL iBT format, unless specified otherwise

I hope to pass it for at least 110.

Based on the admission requirements of foreign universities, it seems that a total TOEFL score of 80 is considered the minimum, 90 or above is more ideal, and a score of 100 or higher is regarded as excellent.
