23 again!

23 is the E4TG magic number!

To begin with, it's the median top score. Here's the speaking score distribution for 2011:

PLEASE compare this to ANY other TOEFL speaking preparation program on Earth!

Also, 23 of the students in the above chart will enroll at Top Ten American MBA programs in 2012:

• Chicago: 1
• Columbia: 1
• HBS: 0
• Kellogg: 7
• Michigan: 1
• MIT: 4 (2 year program)
• NYU: 2
• Stanford: 1 (2 year program)
• Tuck: 1
• UCB: 1
• UCLA: 1
• Wharton: 3 

Many people were accepted at multiple programs, but are not double-counted in this list. I estimate that one-third of all Japanese going to Top Ten American MBA programs were my students in 2011, and this includes ZERO 帰国子女!


We also had many students accepted at INSEAD, LBS, IESE, and other top business schools around the world. It was a good year!
