Hi Hjort,
I have GMAT score of 770. And I am planning to apply to 5 out of top 10 B Schools in US.
I don't have a TOEFL Score, just wanted to know if TOEFL Score can be waived off ? I have stayed in US for over 3 years now and the medium of communication in my Grad School in India was English.
Please let me know, I know it normally depends on school to school.
But how about top 10 schools such as Harvard, Wharton, Stanford, MIT, Kellogg, Columbia, Penn etc.
Pls help

I have included the TOEFL requirements of the ultra elite below. MIT makes the TOEFL optional
Penn/Wharton
TOEFL
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is required for all international applicants whose native language is not English. You may waive the TOEFL if you have earned an undergraduate degree or master's degree in an English-speaking country or from an institution in which English is the language of instruction; applicants must provide evidence to support the waiver. If your test score is more than 2 years old (from the date of the exam to the date of application arrival), you must retake the test. Administered by ETS, the TOEFL is offered throughout the year at test centers worldwide. Wharton only accepts official TOEFL scores sent by ETS.
Wharton's TOEFL code is: 2926-02
Stanford
All applicants to the Stanford MBA Program who do not have an undergraduate or graduate degree from a university at which the primary language of instruction is English must take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL).
Chicago
Q: Can I have the TOEFL or IELTS waived?
A: An international applicant, however, is exempt from the TOEFL/IELTS requirement if he/she has earned an undergraduate degree or post-graduate degree from an institution in which English is the language of instruction. An applicant is also eligible if he/she is a citizen or permanent resident of a country where English is an official language. Applicants should indicate the exemption in the application where indicated.
Harvard
Candidates from non-English speaking countries are required to take the TOEFL and /or IELTS, according to the following guidelines:
Candidates who received their bachelor's degree from an English-speaking university are not required to submit these tests (i.e., they are exempt).
Candidates who received a master's or Ph.D. degree from an English-speaking university are strongly encouraged to submit the TOEFL and/or IELTS.
The Admissions Board discourages any candidate with a TOEFL score lower than 267 from applying.
We strongly urge students from non-English-speaking countries to take the Test of Written English (TWE), now part of the computerized TOEFL.
TOEFL or IELTS scores more than two years old will not be accepted.
Northwestern/Kellogg

A valid score for the TOEFL is required for international applicants whose native language is not English AND who have not received a university degree in one of the following countries: Australia, Canada (not including Quebec), England, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and Wales.
