Impact of high TOEFL score in MBA App

Question

I just received my TOEFL scores last week and garnered 114 (IBT) in the exam.

I am currently applying for 7 schools but TOEFL only provides 4 free score reports to schools I'm applying.

Since the 3 remaining schools (Fuqua, Goizueta & Tepper) offer a waiver if the medium of instruction of the undergraduate school is english (which I am qualified), I would like to know if sharing my TOEFL score (by requesting TOEFL to send additional score reports) will positively impact my overall application since I will be applying as an international student.

I understand that having a low TOEFL can negatively impact the application but am unsure if the reverse is possible as well.

Any insights/advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

AFAIK, a high score on TOEFL doesn't have any impact on your app. It only means you can or can't read/write/listen/speak standard college/grad school level US/UK English. I would double check if the waiver is applicable for non-native speakers (not sure where you studied). HTH
