(note: not broken )
don't bother seeking affirmation, really ...
Wah really ar?? LOL
I thought very tip top one...

My US friend did mentioned, excluding top schools like Harvard or NYU or Ivy League etc etc, basically the school wants your money.

True ar??

I want to speak to them also. I already called twice long distance. Yesterday was voice mail saying they are on holidays for THANKSGIVING!! Which was 3 weeks ago.

The just now, I managed to talk to an indian lady I presume, and her english quite bad can! So I asked her about my situation, explaining my education system and where I am from all that, she immediately replied saying the same thing I read on the internet. "International students are required to send a TOEFL test results bla bla...."
I explained again and then she kept quiet. Say she will transfer me to her supervisor and guess what, she put me on VOICEMAIL!! Telling me to leave a message and phone number and they will get back to me....
