<p>I'm an international student and my mothertongue is English. I have a British passport, although under ethnicity I presume I'd be categorized as Indian/Asian (or whatever equivalent option is provided) since both my parents are Indian and I basically consider myself to be Indian. Would it be right for me to put myself down as Indian, or is it based on my passport, in which case I would be British by nationality.</p>
<p>Someone said that all international students HAVE to take the TOEFL. Is it still necessary if I'm taking English A1 at IB (Standard Level) and am predicted a 6 or 7 (not sure which grade yet)?</p>
<p>Is there a basal SAT score that I must meet in order for me not to take the TOEFL?</p>
<p>Individual colleges waive the TOEFL requirement under certain circumstances (e.g. sufficiently high verbal SAT scores) but there is no universally accepted substitute. </p>
<p>That being said, you don’t need to take the TOEFL if English is your native language and you went to an English-medium high school.</p>
<p>Yeah, most colleges don’t require the TOEFL exam from native English speakers. There are, however, some that do require this of native speakers (even UK citizens) if you haven’t spent a certain amount of time in a school in specified countries.</p>
<p>University of Michigan, for example, require the TOEFL or IELTS from native speakers who haven’t had lifetime education in Australia, Canada (other than Quebec), New Zealand, United Kingdom, or the United States (other than Puerto Rico).</p>
<p>Toeffl is not required for students coming from English speaking countries, or those that attend schools whose primary language of instruction is English.</p>
