TOEFL 577 for paper-based TOEFL 90 for an Internet-based TOEFL IELTS 7.0 for the IELTS GRE The CBB program is highly selective. However, we have no cut-offs for quantitative measurements of achievement. A GRE score below 550 does not preclude admission of a student with an otherwise strong application. Likewise, when a GPA below 3.2 is found along with good GRE scores and strong letters of recommendation, transcripts are examined to determine which courses account for the low GPA and when during the student's undergraduate career the low grades were received. Uniformly high grades in the last two or three terms can compensate for low grades received earlier in an applicant's undergraduate career.
