purplesummer: The thing with AACRAO is that they are fast in transcript evaluation, much faster than WES. The conversion scale of AACRAO is slightly lower than WES. In WES, our A remains A on the US scale (4 points), our B is B+ (3.3), our C is B (3 points), our D is C+, our E is C and F is F. On the WES scale, there are no Ds and Es after conversion, any Ds and Es in our transcript are converted to C+ and C, meaning more points towards your final CGPA. However, with AACRAO, our A, B and C are their A, B+ and B respectively, but our D and E are their C and D respectively. With AACRAO, there is a D grade and also notice the significant drop from C+ and C in WES to C and D respectively in AACRAO, meaning a slightly lesser final GPA with AACRAO compared with WES. But, AACRAO is quite faster in their evaluation compared with WES and is also cheaper. The issue with WES is that it takes time for evaluation but where the delay usually lies in is in the transcript verification stage after your school (or you using your school's name and address as sender) has sent your transcript to WES and they've sent it back to your school to verify that it is valid before they proceed with the evaluation. Usually, after the verification is received back from the school, it takes about 1 week for WES to do the translation and mail out a copy to the address as listed on your application form. You can be proactive in your WES evaluation process by following up with your school to know when WES has sent the verification request so you can nudge your school to respond as quick as possible. If your 2 transcripts are OND + HND, they should accept it from you and convert it to a 4-year US bachelor's equivalent since they are both of 2 years each. 9 Likes |

udeyokay: $500 is just good enough for rent It will taxed by the state and federal government So the money might end up being around $400 per month. It's better than nothing but certainly you need another source of funds for eating and surviving. |

McEwen:Oga, behave yourself and stop acting silly. You can do this in the romance thread. Justwise I see no reason why these people haven't received a ban. |

bigfrancis21: Thank you so very much for the lecture. You more than did justice to the question. I would have loved to use WES despite their notoriety for delay, but the schools I'm applying to keep mentioning the AACRAO. My two transcripts are; a 5-year university bachelors transcript and another from the Nigerian Law School. I guess I should go with AACRAO and hope for the best. 1 Like 1 Share |

purplesummer: Since you already have a 5-year bachelor's degree, AACRAO will evaluate it into a US bachelor's degree equivalent, and your law school transcript will also have to be evaluated independently. |
