<p>hey,
i just got my toefl score report and i scored a 287 on the CBT..is that considered a decent score for top universities?</p>
<p>Yes, definitely!
A higher score won't make any difference whatsoever.Concentrate on the rest of your application!</p>
<p>300 is the max. most unis want a minimum of 250. don't be like my friend, got 295 and not satisfied because it wasn't a 300, so he retook. the second time around he got 293. $110 gone.</p>
<p>
exactly! I am surprised that you even asked this question, a score thats 13 points short of the maximum is very good anyday!! stop worrying about toefl, believe me, its the least important thing in your application. work on sats, essays, ecs etc.</p>
<p>yeah..i was just making sure, thanks anyway..</p>
<p>It's a good score, but the SAT/ACT are the tests that show your true proficiency in English.</p>
