Should I take TOEFL for apply UC?

I'm not U.S. citizen but not international student either..My visa is little different than internation student visa, anyway!
I was here since middle of 7th grade, so I graudated middle school at here and I'm going to graduate high school at here,too.
I want to apply UC Irvine, Berkely, Davis, and I didn't take TOEFL test, and I'm gonna be senior next year..
Now, my question is should i take TOEFL for applying UCs? I..
If I have to take, is there time to take TOEFL and get result before deadlines?
I'm kinda nervous right now..because I don't have much time to finish all those things..

You need to check the websites if the different UCs that you will apply to, and read about each one's TOEFL requirement.

If your post is a good example of your level of English, you definitely should take the TOEFL and you should also take another year of ESL at your high school.

Lastly, you need to find out if you can go to college in your current immigration status, or if you will have to change to a student visa.

Call an admissions officer at one of the UC schools and ask. You have studied English in USA for the last 4-6 years, so you meet the English requirements. With that said, if your Reading score is low on the SAT, a TOEFL might prove to an officer that you are able to speak English.
