需要考TOEFL吗?

国内的本科,没在美国念过书。在美国工作了6年(到入学的时候应该已经7年了), 现在是manager, 已经拿到绿卡,GMAT 780, TOEFL 660 (不过是2001年考的)

我这种情况还需不需要考TOEFL啊?能不能算domestic applicant?

我写信去问了,Columbia明确说可以不要,Warton说可以申请waive, HBS的回信的内容是website的copy-paste. 其他的Stanford, MIT, HASS没有回信。如果想申请waive,是怎样一个procedure? 真不想莫名其妙的把TOEFL重考一遍。。。

先谢谢了!

You'll need TOEFL for both Harvard and Stanford.  You can try negotiating with each school but it'll be pretty difficult for either to make an exception unless you have extenuating circumstances that will prevent you from taking the test.  You probably won't want to try too hard and leave a less than positive impression with the admissions committee.

hey, yaoyao, thank you for your reply.

Two follow-up questions:

1. How did you get that conclusion (You'll need TOEFL for both Harvard and Stanford). It's based on precedents or something from their website?

2. If some schools allow TOEFL waiver, what's the normal precedure?

1. Yes.  I always check the official websites instead of relying on hearsay.

2. Again, I don't believe it's "normal" to ask the school to waive the TOEFL requirement if neither your bachelor's program nor your master's program were taught in English.

I would recommend spending time on polishing your application instead of trying to get around this requirement.  You may find a way to have some schools exempt you but I won't count on that with all the schools.  Sounds like you should be able to do well on the test without too much preparation anyway. 

Good luck!
