SAT Verbal vs. TOEFL

Q. I am an international student. Should I take the TOEFL or the SAT?</p>

<p>A. You may take either or both. We will consider the TOEFL or SAT equally without preference. If you submit both, we will use the test that makes you look best.

<p>This is from MIT FAQ..is this true for Caltech, too?</p>

<p>I definitely hope so!</p>

<p>This is dumb, take both if you're an international. Any idiot can get a near perfect score on the TOEFL with minimal proficiency in English. The SAT Verbal, despite all its shortcomings, will say more about how well you can understand material in English. Besides, you'll probably be submitting an SAT math score already, so the verbal will probably show up at the admissions office either way.</p>
