Anyone have the email address of the ETS CEO (or a high ranking official)? First I booked a test date in April 2011, for December 2011. In September the testing agent called me saying that I had to change my test date as "the test centre had to be closed for the year end holidays". I was upset that I had to cancel a planned holiday, but decided to leave things as they were after ETS ignored my complaints. Today I was denied entry to the testing centre. I showed a valid government issued driving license, and a valid government issued identity card. In my country, neither comes with a signature, although I had affixed my signature to my driving license since the day it was issued. They rejected me on the grounds that "there was no expiry date" in the card. My passport (which is the only government issued identification that automatically comes with signature on it) was under renewal. Ironically I would have my passport had I not been forced to change the test date. I am writing to ETS but am currently doubtful that anything would be resolved. I am actually seriously considering suing ETS for the earlier breach of contract if they ignoring this time round. Any idea how this is done for a foreign national residing in Asia?

Hi everyone, I'm a 2013 applicant. I've looked at the FAQs thread. I have some impressions from reading the threads recommended. Could you clarify if you think they're mistaken? 1) I can give Oxford & Cambridge MPhil a shot, but Harvard/Yale might be a bit too far fetched. (I can apply to them, but they should remain dream schools). For US schools, Northwestern, Duke, Minnesota, Boston, NYU might be good choices. 2) It's not particularly important to strengthen any part of my application. Thus next summer, I should feel free to take on an internship/research assistantship, or go to summer school, or even relax. Have just completed the first semester of my third year. Next semester taking mostly compulsory courses: Independent Study, International Trade, Advanced Microeconomics, Intermediate Econometrics, Risk Theory & Loss Models In my fourth year, intend to write a thesis. From my remaining courses, will try some PhD Econs courses, and some maths & stats courses.
