TOEFL for transfer

Colleges and Universities A-Z Cornell University

<p>Hi everybody, </p>

<p>I have a question regarding the TOEFL examination for international transfer students. Now I am a student in a US community college in my sophomore year. I have already taken writing requirements as well as literature. This counts as english proficiency for most colleges. However, Cornell does not explicitely describe this situation (at least I haven't come across it). Do you think I still need to take TOEFL? Has anybody experienced this problem? </p>

<p>Thanks for your input!</p>

<p>I found it after some research…it seems rear to me taking TOEFL, even though I have taken all the english prerequisites. In addition to being an English tutor. </p>

<p>Has anyone waived this requirement as a transfer student?</p>
