Is there any chance that Florida State University would waive TOEFL for me?
For international students, proof of proficiency in English is a must for admission to Florida State University. If your native language isn’t English, you need to have valid TOFEL or IELTS scores to apply at FSU.

For international students, proficiency in English is something FSU will not compromise with. If you are an international student whose native language is not English, you will definitely need to provide a minimum score in TOEFL or IELTS as stated by your program. Remember that some departments may have higher score requirements.
However, English Language requirements will not be required for:
- International applicants with English as their native/first language
- International students who have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree in an English-speaking country
These are the minimum ELP requirements for international students as stated by the Florida State University:
Those international graduate applicants who plan to be teaching assistants need to pass a spoken test of English as well. All masters and doctoral programs need at least a minimum score of 600 on the TOEFL paper-based test or 100 on the internet based test or a 7 on their IELTS exam.
You can also consider improving your English before your academic program begins in the US through FSU's Center of Intensive English Studies.
