Opinions on retaking toefl

Question

hi friends,
I recently scored 106 in my toefl exam. R-27, L-27, S-26, W-26. I am planning to apply for colleges like chicago booth, kellogg and so on. Could anyone guide me by explaining whether this is a good score to apply for admissions or should i retake the exam?

Regards,
Manju Barghavi

Go ahead. Your score is more than enough for every School.

Also, in case of doubts it's better to check college websites for minimum TOEFL score requirements.

From HBS:  The MBA Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 109 on the iBT, an IELTS score lower than 7.5, or a PTE score lower than 75 from applying.

Booth says its TOEFL requirement is 104 which is less than what you have, but I would recommend upping it. Which language was your undergrad in?

Hi  munch5 ,

Check out this thread for minimum scores:

TOEFL score requirements for various schools

The average score of applicants in many schools is about 109-110. I think your score is good, but improving it wouldn't hurt.

Hope this helps!

My undergrad was in English. Moreover i am not aiming for Harvard. Is minimum requirement of toefl enough for selection committee or do they pool the students according to toefl scores also?(like they do for gmat on percentile basis).
