My TOEFL score is not that impressive Roberto. Many people accomplish similar results. I understand the TOEFL to be the most stupid exam in the world and I don't believe it is a good measure of your ability to speak and write fluently in english. I know a chinese guy that got 290 in spite of his terrible english (of course, he is very smart, otherwise it would've been impossible). You should try some exams from the Princeton Review TOEFL CD. But hey: the TOEFL is certainly not the most important issue. If you have a low score, they will just ignore you; if you have a high score, they will just take it as a minimum requirement. It works as a necessary condition, not as part of a sufficient one, to be accepted in Yale... Hey Vakil, thank you for your kind words! As far as I know, you're at YLS so good luck with your studies and hope to see you in August...
