Transcript evaluation service ! Please advise me, urgent !
Hi folks,
I am originally from Vietnam. In Vietnam, the scoring system is completely different from the system in US. So I need to have my transcript evaluated prior to translated to English. I am living in Buffalo, NY. Could you please advise me some reliable evaluation services ( it is great if it is near my place) ? BTW, I got a bachelor degree in my country and I am applying to SUNY Buffalo and some other schools for a MBA program. I will take GMAT next month. Thanks a lot, Daisy |

I assume the service they would prefer would be WES, which is the service most universities seem to prefer, including the law school at SUNY:

UPDATE: It seems many transcription services do not require the transcripts to be mailed directly from the university. However, I would call SUNY and the other schools you are interested in to see if they would accept transcript services other than WES.

After doing a Google search, I see that ECE is a transcript service that is accepted by at least a few MBA programs (in addition to WES).
For example, Temple University's MBA program accepts both ECE and WES: Fox MBA Program -- International Applicants From what I see at ECE.org, I can't tell if they require the transcripts to come from the university or not. The service below is accepted by the MBA program at the University of Central Florida, and it does not seem to require transcripts directly from the university: http://www.jsilny.com/html/foreign.htm However, I would definitely call SUNY and see if they would accept these services since WES seems to be the gold standard. For example, Indiana State's MBA program seems to accept only WES: Indiana State University :

Hi CalmLogic and everyone,
The cost for transcript evaluation is expensive and unreasonable. Is there any of you guys submit original transcript ( from other country) and be admitted by school? I think American universities are able to evaluate it themselves as there are many international students in the US. How do you think of this? |

The cost of graduate school is even more expensive and unreasonable

Also, many foreign schools use English as the primary language. That may be one reason why many foreign students have English transcripts.

CalmLogic,
What you said make sense to me. However, if I translate the transcript , will it be accepted? You know what, so far there is not any accredited Vietnamese translation organization in the US. In addition, I do not think international students from China, Korea, Thailand,etc use WES or ECE. So how are their transcripts recognized by US universities? |

The whole point of some schools requiring a service like WES is because it is seen as a relatively objective third party that is experienced with US equivalents of foreign schools, courses, and grading systems. So even when the official transcript is in English, a service like WES may still be required. For example: Quote:
