So yeah, here's what I am:

I'm an Israeli undergrad (History/English Studies double major), GPA 3.3.

I've taken one of those simulation GRE's and got 660 Verbal and 650 Quantitative.

I will take the real GRE later this year.

Now, two questions for you guys:

1. I hear most American unis have straight-to-Ph.D. programs available. Would it be possible for me to be accepted to one of those? What kind of mark do I need?

2. Is it possible - given I speak English on a mother-tongue level - to avoid taking the TOEFL?
