This was posted March 13. Is it still open until now? If it is, is it possible for me to just mail my application since I'm from the far North? Thanks!

I'm not sure. But I think it's possible because when you submit your credentials, they will schedule you for the exam. What you should do is to call them first and arrange that you'll be sending your application. Then they'll look for an exam date for you. You'll have to pay the P100 testing fee before your exam date and, of course, go there on your test date. I think exams dates are for late April already. They usually conduct it every Friday.

If your school's medium of instruction is NOT English, apply and take the TOEFL iBT (www.ets.org/toefl). How do you know if you're school's medium of instruction is English?
