What TWE score is good for B-schools?

[belconnen]

I have found on most of the MBA programs the minimum TOEFL scores required in top universities, but I haven't found any guide such as to know which grade must be received in the TOEFL essays.
Some people have told me that you need a 6 to apply to a top ten, so I really need to know if this is totally true or not.

Thanks

From my experience, b-school adcoms don't look at TOEFL writing scores as much as they do AWA scores.

You definitely do NOT need a 6.0 to get in. I've had many students get a 5.0 on the TWE and a 5.0 on the AWA and get in to great b-schools. I think the reason that they get the same score on both tests, even though the TOEFL is easier, is that many smart folks simply spend more time on the GMAT than they do on the TOEFL and don't learn how to write a TOEFL essay.
