<p>Hello</p>
<p>If I have lived in the u.s for a 5 yrs and 4 months, can I take the TOEFLS? If so, does most colleges accept it for undergraduate admissions? when is the last day I can normally take the TOEFL IBT for colleges in fall?</p>
<p>Anyone who is willing to pay the money can take the TOEFL, so don’t worry about that. Each college and university posts the TOEFL information right on its website. Look in the information for international applicants. In your particular situation, you may want to contact the colleges and universities on your list, and discuss this with the admissions officers. Each institution sets its own policy about English proficiency exams which means that some won’t require it of students who have been in English-language schools for a certain number of years, others won’t require it of students who have certain scores on the ACT or SAT, and still others will require a proficiency exam of anyone who does not have English as their first language no matter how long they have been studying in English-language schools and no matter what their other test scores are. There really is no way to predict this.</p>
<p>Most schools I applied to don’t require TOEFLS for students who have been in the US for more than three years(I have been here for five years as well). Carnegie Mellon requires TOEFL for any student whose English is not first language…so I took it and did not apply to CMU…</p>
