I Found a Way to Get Admisison Without TOEFL Score
Why TOEFL is Required
University of Houston: All applicants who did not graduate from native English-speaking countries are required to provide adequate proof of their English proficiency before receiving admission to the university.
University of California at Berkeley – Although we do not expect all students who are not native English speakers to be perfectly fluent in English, it is clear that a student with serious language limitations will have great difficulty coping with a new cultural, social and academic environment.
Brown University – All international applicants whose native language is not English must submit an official Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score. These tests measure the ability of non-native speakers of English to use and understand North American English as it is used in college and university settings.
Admission without TOEFL
Wouldn’t it be nice if all non-native English speakers can get admission in universities in USA without TOEFL or IELTS?
First Language (or native language) is often referred to Mother Tongue and the language a person has learned from birth.
Some universities waive TOEFL Score if medium of instructions was in English, but that’s very rare.
When TOEFL is Waived
According to University of Houston – TOEFL Test requirements is waived for International Students under following conditions
- Earned a high school diploma, Associates of Arts, Associates of Science or bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited U.S. high school, college or university, or
- Completed your education in one of the following countries; Australia, the English Speaking Caricom countries together with the British overseas territories: Anguilla, Antigua, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, St.Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago; the English-speaking Canadian provinces, the Fiji Islands, Liberia, New Zealand, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Trinidad, the United Kingdom, the Virgin Islands, the West Indies and Zimbabwe.
To answer your question, first language is not English if your mother tongue is not English. Assuming you are from India, English will not be your native language.

Hello….my question is unlike some English provinces in Canada being exempted from taking the TOEFL or IELTS exams, why can’t they also consider the English provinces of Cameroon as an exception for the exams….I studied English language from primary through secondary and high school and now I hold a Bsc all in English. I have never been to the French provinces of my country so with my mother tongue being english, i wish you try to reconsider some african countries like Camerooon or better still all those who studied in the anglophone community should be exempted from taking the exams…so many students here intend furthering their studies abroad but the fact that they have studied in English throughout their lives but are still obligated to take the English proficiency exams which is also expensive, make them give up.thank you

Why do you not consider Ghanaians as well because we use the English Language from the Kindergarten level right up to tertiary in our education system. I think universities in America should consider graduates coming from Ghanaian schools as well.

Tests like TOEFL/IELTS are basically tests to prove one's English proficiency. Primarily it would be in the student's own interest to satisfy himself and others about his English proficiency. Seen this way, one should not shy away from such language proficiency tests.
