<p>this is kinda urgent… I’ve been learning English for seven years, and my teachers said that I don’t need to take the TOEFL. However, when I checked the Penn website, it said that all students whose native language is not English are required to take the TOEFL. I didn’t know about this, and I didn’t register to take the TOEFL. I’m applying ED, and it’ll be too late if I do sign up and take it. I just want to know if I need TOEFL and if there’s any special policy regarding it. Will it hurt my chances if I don’t take it?
I took it once like two years ago, but I think that score is too old now. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>If you are an international whose native language is not English you need to provide the score. The admissions website does not say anything about the age of the test:</p>
<p>However -
ETS deletes your scores after 2 years so if its been less than 2 years I'd say go ahead and send that since you don't really have any choice at this point.</p>
<p>Take the TOEFL now it takes 15 days to arrive so hopely they will receive in time..</p>
<p>write a fax to the adcoms saying you are taking the toefl and sending them</p>
<p>im not sure if this will help...but if you are in a school that is taught in English for more than 4 years, you dont need TOEFL. However, I will recommend you to call the admission office and confirm with them. It shouldnt be a problem...dont worry! Good luck!</p>
