Cuándo no es necesario hacer el TOEFL

[kaos1]

El tema del waiver, funciona también si has realizado un intercambio de un semestre en Estados Unidos?

Hola a tod@s!

Mi nombre es Ulises, licenciado en Administración y Dirección de Empresas con +2 años de experiencia laboral relevante en el área de Planificación Estratégica, Desarrollo de Casos de Negocios y Consultoría en Gestión de Proyecto-Programa-Portafolio. La intención es iniciar un MBA internacional en EE. UU. o Europa para el curso 2012 o 2013, lo que como estratega me estoy preparando desde ya. De cara a los requerimientos básicos, estoy trabajando para iniciar el proceso del GMAT y por la parte del TOEFL probablemente adquiera un waiver por haber realizado parte de mis estudios en EE.UU. Me animo y comprometo a intercambiar ideas y compartir experiencias.

Realizando research he encontrado esta poderosa fuente de información y aprovecho para destacar la gran utilidad informativa del club y el destacado aporte de cada uno de sus miembros.

Un cordial saludo,
Ulises

El tema del waiver, funciona también si has realizado un intercambio de un semestre en Estados Unidos?

Depende de la universidad de destino, algunas juzgarán seis meses como tiempo suficiente, otras a lo mejor te piden el año académico o incluso un doble título. Si quieres comprobarlo, yo me iría a las webs de las escuelas que me interesan y repasaría los requisitos. Por ejemplo, MIT no pide TOELF, les basta con la nota del GMAT.

Saludos,

PD: Muevo los comentarios a la sección de TOEFL e inauguro un nuevo tema, creo que muchos usuarios estarán interesados en esta cuestión.

Como tenía un ratillo, he recopilado los requisitos que piden en algunas escuelas para no tener que presentarse al TOEFL o examen equivalente. Es mi primera tabla, así que disculpad si me he equivocado al pegar algo o el formato no queda del todo bien :P

Saludos!!

Para CEIBS y HKUST, tampoco es necesario el TOEFL. Al igual que para el IMD exigen un "Strong command of written and spoken English" pero para demostrarlo basta con pasar la entrevista telefonica/personal y con el nivel del AWA del GMAT.
