@gounc93 if he is truly a great mind then language shouldn't be a barrier

@redshark618 It will if you've learned something from it and can articulate that well in the application.

i think it is a bit ridiculous that a student like the one show in the beginning can get into some of the top schools in the country when he can barely speak english. Sure he does well on test and in schools but what the hell. Who is going to hire someone who they can barely communicate with?
