<p>I didn't even know it existed until recently. I'm from the Caribbean and I got a 700 on CR and 710 on writing, so wouldn't it be kinda obvious that I know english right?</p>

<p>well, I asked my admission counselor the same question. she answered that I have received at least 2 years of education conducted in English, so I will be fine. I think that you don't have to take TOEFL, but you'd better check it with one of the admissions officers. good luck</p>

<p>An English Language Proficiency Test</p>

<p>Competence in English must be demonstrated in order to qualify for admission. All international applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Our TOEFL and College Board code is 1832. If you are taking the IELTS, request the scores to be sent to the admissions office. Reports of other tests are usually not accepted. Please visit the TOEFL and IELTS Web sites for more information.</p>

<p>The University of Chicago only admits students who have demonstrated a superior level of English language competence: 600 or higher on the old Paper Based TOEFL, 250 or higher on Computer Based TOEFL, or 104 or higher on the new Internet Based TOEFL. Minimum required scores in the IELTS are an overall score of 7, with sub scores of 7 each.</p>

<p>The only exceptions are for applicants who for two or more years have attended a high school in the U.S., or who for two or more years have attended a high school in which the primary language of instruction is English in a country in which English is one of the official languages (England, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, or Pakistan, for example). Though we allow these exceptions, the College Admissions Office encourages all students who speak English as a second language to submit a TOEFL or an IELTS scores. Chicago does not offer an ESL program for admitted students.</p>
