No, IELTS is not more internationally recognised. IELTS was introduced by Cambridge, and TOEFL by the ETS. Since Americans prefer their own tests, TOEFL is the ideal test for US universities. IELTS is for some US and Singapore universities, and for all UK and Australian universities. If you're sure about US, give the TOEFL iBT.What if the IELTS is given instead of TOEFL? IELTS is more internationally recognized, so is giving the IELTS instead of the TOEFL along with the SATs sufficient for seeking uni admission (I have disregarded other things like academics, extra-circulars...)
