But there's usually a requirement for the foreign students because of which they can't have a TA before they live in the country for about 1-2 years (it's different from school to school). So I thought that my English skills can't have much weight anyway. But now the most important question is how often can this requirement be avoided if student has great language skills. | |

Also, it didn't occurred to me that my English skills could be of such importance -- most of the universities's faqs and other resources say that TOEFL (or any other English exam) score is only for the guarantee that I will be able to communicate with people on minimum level. | |
