<p>"Is English your first language? Is English the primary language spoken at home</p>

<p>If you checked “no” to either of the questions above, you are required to take and submit the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). In lieu of TOEFL, students may submit results of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Please click here for further information on these tests."</p>

<p>The above is taken from Boston U supplement.</p>

<p>My answers to the questions are no and no. My first language and the primary language spoken at home is Cantonese. I moved here eight years ago; I have been in CA since fourth grade. I was/am in adv./honor/ap english classes. </p>

<p>Do I need to take the TOEFL? I thought I won't even qualify for TOEFL.</p>

<p>According to the instructions...you have to take the TOEFL...but you should do fine...if you can handle ap/honors english...you'll ace the TOEFL</p>

<p>i think you will have no choice but to take the TOEFL. hwever, you might want to email them to ask for exemption, because i know some schools allow exewmption for students who've had english as a medium of instruction for the past 3/4 years.</p>

<p>btw that's a very nice sn. :)</p>
