tnoviell, you are the expert on this, but I would suggest the person from Chile apply to a range of mid to high level LARGE state schools, with a few less prestigious ones thrown in
big state schools (I think) can afford to have first year pure research types who maybe haven't yet learned all the english necessary for holding down TA tutorials (yeah, I definitely dont think that's the case with you nimbus, i really have no idea...but i think that's a lot of the bullshit rap foreign students get)
what i'm recalling is someone from Europe with a profile up last year who got rejected from super-prestige schools (Harvard, Stanford, somewhere else) with a 990 physicsgre but got into university of illinois urbana-
is that helpful at all?
