Don't write an essay, just very briefly state that your father agrees to cover your tuition and living expenses for 4 ( or 2, or 3, or whatever) years while you are in college. Also include that he has the money to do that. Simple.

I don't know about Venesuela, but I was told immediatly - you got the visa, pick up your passport at that and that time.

Real TOEFL should just like PP. But some say it's harder, some easier. In any case, refer to PP... because that's the most trusted source about TOELF.

My sponsor was from the US and it never surfaced as something negative. Just sharing my experience. R.

I knew you can do it! :) I am proud with you!

Cool nick :) Why did I thought of that? ;)

I do that, but sometimes I forget... So somebody's essay review got lost in the universe :rolleyes: Anyway, thanks for the response! Renata

Hey Michael, thank you for such a thorogh response... I thought that Blair is a nice guy just with some strange support for the US and Iraq war. But overall, I though he is a good guy. Thanks for letting me know. Renata

Hi! I use tons of different computers every day, so sometimes I log on so that computer does not remember me after awhile and next time does not log me in automaticly (I want to save my privacy). But then if I type a long reply I run out out of time and all my work gets lost... Could you do something about it? (Hope explained everything clear enough - gotta run, sorry) Renata

I think that the problem with all these sentences are that they are not logical. 1. After reviewing the curriculum, several significant changes were made in traditional business programs at Harvard University. I think it shoul be: After reviewing the curriculum, the committee made several significant changes in traditional business programs at Harvard University. 2. Banned in the U.S, (A) the effect of fluorocarbons continues (B) at a level that could eventually © damage the ozone layer, and bring about such (D) serious results as high risk of skin cancer and global climate changes. How can you ban "the effect of fluorocarbons"??? You could ban "emmission of flourocarbons." 3. Having hit (A) more home runs than (B) any other player © in the history of baseball, Hank Aaron's record (D) is famous. The record could not hit home runs, it must have been Hank Aaron. So the sentence should be: Having hit (A) more home runs than (B) any other player © in the history of baseball, Hank Aaron (D) is famous. The things is that the first part of the sentence should have the same subject as the second part because it is ommited. Compare: Not having eated for 24 hours, I was starving. I, not having eaten for 24 hours, was starving. Tom, not having done his part of the project, made me furious. Not having done his part of the project, Tom made me furious. Hope it cleared a bit.

I always get a terribly dry mouth... But then if I am confident with the subject everything turns to be fine... But still it's scary...

I think it could even acctually help you. You need to prove that you don't intend to stay in the US. And that you have got a visa and you have not used it shows only that your primary purpose is not to immigrate to the US at any cost. I mean, I would see this as a positive thing. I don't know hoe the person you will be speaking to will think. Renata

What's wrong with Bliar??? :hmm:

It was too long ago for me to remember :) R.

I think ETS mails you your score in 2 weeks. They have to put an envelope in post office after 2 weeks of your exam. But it might take a little while to deliver that letter to your doorstep. I would add time needed for a letter to be mailed from US to India to that 2 weeks.
