I'm applying for transfer to a college in the U.S. and I need to know if I've got to take TOEFL.
Here's my case.
I am a U.S. citizen (born in the U.S.A). I am not a "native" speaker of English since my parents are from India. But I started speaking in English when I was 3, and I've been speaking ONLY in English since I was four and a half.
I can't even speak in my parents' language (I'm not proud of it, but that's the way it is)
I went to school in India. Someone told me that I need to take TOEFL because of this.
The problem is that it feels rather silly having to prove that I know English when it happens to be the only language I'm really comfortable with...(for goodness sake, I think in English!)..not to mention the $150 fee
According to the school I'm applying to, I'm a domestic applicant (not international)
