提供我的經驗供您參考
我曾看到某學校說ielts成績可抵TSE與TOEFL，潛意識便一直以為每家都可以如此。
填另一校申請表時心血來潮跟他確定到底可不可以抵，他卻說該校規定不承認IELTS。
查TSE，最早可報名的考試日期是2/18（考前2個月是報名deadline），
我整顆心都涼了...但還是不死心寫信說明台灣考區的狀況，
也很誠實的說成績3月才會寄到(BUT該校3月初就會把結果公佈)。
對方回說太慢了，而且TSE很重要...但還是准許我先報名，
然後趕快報考TSE。
前幾天我收到他寄來的信，說我所有資料還差TSE，
我很客氣回信並想補救辦法(因為是自己理虧不能把問題丟給別人)，
信的內容我貼在本篇最後，有興趣可以參考一下。
對方後來回說，"沒關係，只是提醒你一下。"
讓我覺得還滿溫馨的...
每個學校認可TSE的重要性不同，辦事的風格也不同，
有靈活如YALE，有規矩如Stanford，有回信很不客氣如...
最重要的是你快寫信or CALL該科系(or admin office)說明情況，
看看如果沒有TSE是否仍舊可以申請，
(答案應是YES，因多數科系都認為TSE是排後面的決定因素，
所以除非你的application有披荊斬棘，進入最後的round才會用到)
申請學校其實是很聽天由命的事，
有沒有希望往往不是自己能控制的。

Thank you for your kind notification.
I have consulted you about a month and half ago about the TSE which
I wasn't able to register in time because I was abroad. However you
still encouraged me to process my application and at the same time
register for the test as soon as possible so when I tried the earliest
test I could take is the Feb test, and I would honestly tell you that
the result would arrive in March.
I know this is a serious delay but at least this is what I could make
up for at the moment.
I regret not being able to submit my TSE in time and I beg your pardon.
The score at hand relating to my spoken English is my IELTS score which
you have informed me that Stanford do not accept but if it is still useful
please let me know, and I would order a report sent from the British
Council within the shortest time.
Again, thank you very much for your kind notification.

關於TSE UIUC給我的回覆如下
雖然他們強烈建議我去考
但我還是沒考
不知道會不會影響決策就不知了
Our
University requires that any student awarded a teaching assistantship meet the
requisite spoken English requirement. This can be accomplished in one of two
ways, an acceptable score from the TSE or an internal Speak Test. An
applicant that does not or cannot provide the TSE can be considered by the
faculty for admission. It could impact the admissions decision if the faculty
had concerns regarding the applicant's English ability. If they feel
comfortable with the applicants' English, they may offer admission and then
require that applicant to take the internal Speak test. Whether or not it
impacts the decision process greatly is undeterminable at this point. You are
welcome to provide additional information regarding your English ability
if you desire.
