<p>Hey,
It seems that WUSTL absolutely requires the TOEFL. I had an A in O'level English, 730 SAT CR and 800 Writing. I belong to a country where English is the official language and I have studied all my life in a school where English is the primary medium of instruction.Is there any way the TOEFL requirement can be waived or is it absolutely required? Has anyone been given a TOEFL waiver before?
Please help!! =)</p>
<p>I think its required and I really really doubt washu will give you a waiver youll have to take that up with the tesing agency.</p>
<p>if your first language is english, or English is the primary medium of instruction, I think you are not considered a foreign language speaker, therefore, there's no need to take toefl ibt.</p>
<p>Its not my first language but yes the primary medium of instruction at my school..and the official language of my country.</p>
<p>yes it is waived for me. I am a Immigrant and English is not my mother tongue, but i have lived in the US for more than five years. I emailed them and they told me that it is not require to submit TOEFL.</p>
<p>Just show them your SAT score and they won't care.</p>
<p>I emailed them but they haven't replied yet..thnkuuuuu guys!! =)</p>
<p>I'm from Pakistan by da way and my first language is Urdu..</p>
<p>I am sure that with your SAT scores you don't need TOEFL.</p>
<p>just e mail them
they are excellent with responding.</p>
<p>yep, they are good dealing with responses.</p>
<p>Thanks guys =)
I got a mail from them, a sort of confirmation mail, saying that my application is complete and has been sent to the admissions committee for review. Does that mean I have been waived the TOEFL? The mail was NOT in reply to any email i sent the admissions committee.
Thanks for all the help =)</p>
<p>Is it just WUSTL or does every college waive it if you can speak the language with a near native fluency?</p>
<p>I've been living in America for 5 years and my level of instruction back in India was in English too...</p>
<p>Most schools waive it if you meet certain conditions..and those you need to check from the school!

<p>Thanks free :)</p>
