Got TOEFL results

Last Friday my TOEFL results were published on the ETS web site, I got 107 (iBT).

I have mixed emotions about this. On one hand, according to ETS comparison table this score is equivalent to 263 CBT points, so I outperformed the 240 points I got last year before I went to Holland. On the other hand, I found this on the Harvard Business School web site:

"The MBA Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 267 from applying."

So, what does that mean to me? Should I stop applying to HBS?

I don't think so, I won't give up until HBS itself asks me to do it. I'll still be on my way. I think my low 700+ GMAT score and my 107 TOEFL iBT score show I have the ability to the well studying the most demandings MBAs.

Anyway, another good thing about TOEFL iBT is that ETS gives you detailed information about your strengths and weaknesses about English. The web page is https://toefl-registration.ets.org/TOEFLWeb/extISERLogonPrompt.do

My TOEFL detailed score is attached. It's clear that speaking is my weakest point. So I have to prepare myself very well for the interviews I expect to have with schools representatives. Overall, it's not so bad, my reading, listening and writing abilities are on the top TOEFL level, and my speaking abilities are on the fair/good level, where good is the top.

So far so good. Next step: Confirm or change some of the 8 schools I'll apply to.
