I think Haas is one of the few schools which does not exempt internationals who have studied in an English speaking university.

The best thing to do is to check out the school's website.

Most schools do have the exempt option to internationals if the medium of instruction during UG was English.

Haas's policy:

The UC Berkeley Graduate Division requires that all applicants who received their degrees from countries in which the official language is not English submit official evidence of English Language Proficiency. This requirement applies to applicants from Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Latin America, the Middle East, North Africa, the People's Republic of China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and most European countries. This requirement also applies to US citizens who received their undergraduate degrees in these countries or regions. Only applicants who have completed a full year of US university-level coursework with a grade of B or better are exempt from this requirement.

Does applying in Round 2 reduce the chances of securing an admission?

Kingshark,
Any ideas about how much is the acceptable TOEFL iBT score in Haas?

Thanks,
