<p>Hi CC!
I'm a legal resident of the United States (Greencard) and I've been living in the US for the past 8 years.
I moved from Korea, and so my first and native language is Korean, but my English is better than my Korean due to my having lived here longer.</p>

<p>On the undergrad website, it states that an applicant must take a TOEFL test if their first language is not English. Does this mean that I would have to take the TOEFL, or is it just for international applicants? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Generally, if you attended a high school in a country where the language of instruction is English and/or lived for the past x # of years where the main language is English, you would be exempt from TOEFL. The CMU website, however, is vague, so you might want to double check with them.</p>
