Yeah, I've already passed the TOEFL so I understand your feelings. Got 103, not the best result at all, but that's more than enough as far as all of the schools I apply to require >80. Thank you for the advice, I should definitely have a look at the UIUC program. By the way, my list: Temple, UF, SUNY at Buffalo, West Virginia, Kent State, IUP and maybe I will add 1 or 2 schools additionally.
