Four short questions

Hi!

I have four questions-

First, do I need to take the TOEFL Exam if I have been living in the US for 4 years (I am a US permanent resident)?

Will it be possible to submit SAT scores from the Dec 1th test date?

Also, for the personal statement section I have written two essays for the two required prompts - one was 550 words and the other 600. Since the total (1150) exceeds the statement’s word limit (1000), the system does not allow me to submit the essays as they are. Is there a way in which I can still submit the essays as they are or is it a lost battle?

Finally. I have been working closely with a professor and I think that the professor’s recommendation can really boost my application; if I send this recommendation (via mail or fax) will it be considered for admission purposes (I know that the UC system does not require recommendations) ?

Thank you.

George.
