Chapecoense:This didn't call for insults. I aired my opinion which is a new devt being adopted by many schools now for undergraduate admission. I never insulted you. And by the way, you are not working with WES, so don't make such wrong assumption about them, that 90% of their evaluation are undergraduate or graduate transcripts. Make proper research before coming here to talk nonsense. Go to the department of education website data collection, about 75% of ALL international students in USA are pursing undergraduate studies at either colleges or universities. And majority of these people are from non-english countries like China, they all have their high school transcripts evaluated into US system by WES or other agencies. So don't say what you are not sure of okay. |

omoluabiguy: I have made my points clear for those that wanna understand it. What you just said is quite similar to mine. THE NEED FOR A TRANSCRIPT OR RESULT EVALUATION, whether waec or whatever. For a clearer admission decision. |

slimmy2005: If you are passionate about the school and that's a requirement; there's no crime in investing your money to get what you want. Almost all top rated schools require ALL international student to evaluate their high school record, except Canada which share a similar system with USA. No special treatment is given to any other particular country. Not all admission offers can evaluate results into US grade system without making mistakes about some countries system. Don't also forget that fake results and transcripts exists in many countries. That's is the need for an recognized international evaluators, that also verifies the result or transcripts before evaluation. |

The reason for the evaluation of high school record is to standardize the process especially when converting the high school record to US high school system of using GPA, which is not utilized in our high schools here and in many other countries, though some countries may be using GPA system for high school but in a different scale. Many countries write school leaving exams like WAEC, EAEC, and many more others, and their grading system differs from ours. While many countries like china don't write school leaving exams or external exams, but utilize their internal school transcripts. Now ask yourself, how will admission offers convert all these exams with different grading sysytem and transcripts into US GPA grading system without giving some countries advantage over others based on their own system. Your GPA maybe 2.56 when converted to USA sytem while someone in China gets 3.56, but your performance may be better than his. So it will be very difficult having a free and fair scale with the various systems in many countries. This is the reason why admission officers a now requesting an evaluated record from international recognized evaluators who know how to do the job so that no country or region gets undue advantage over others. Very soon it will be a compulsory requirement for all undergraduate schools. Consider many applicants from many countries of the world with various high school system. If I have a similar performance with a Chinese, we are gonna have the same GPA when converted to US system. And we will be given equal consideration in the admission process. Thanks for understanding. 1 Like 1 Share |

omoluabiguy:This is not true for all schools, many schools now require international students to evaluate their high school record by an recognized evaluation agency, which sends a copy directly to them. Its a new requirement and many schools are now adopting the policy. I evaluated my WAEC with WES. Its a compulsory requirement if you are applying to Morgan state, Howard and many others. |

titoakala: WES accepts only WAEC. You have to register with WES and select a document by document evaluation, pay the necessary fees, then get your WES reference number. Go to the WAEC office nearest to you and have your WAEC result sent directly to WES. You pay WAEC for the service. WES gets your document, sends it back for verification; pending when WAEC responds to the verification request, then the evaluation will be done. It's a very long process though, takes more than a month on most cases. |

titoakala: Yes for Morgan state, Evaluated High school record is your WAEC evaluated by WES or any other academic evaluators, check the website you gonna see the agencies they recommend. They gona convert your WAEC to a GPA scale of 4.0 as used in US high schools. For Notarized Affidavit of support, you have to get your sponsor write for you an affidavit of support or sponsorship and have it notarized at a public notary, then attach a bank statement with the minimum amt in $ as shown in the website. Transfer eligibility form is for transfer students and can be got from the school, you can request more details on this from the university. If you are a transfer student, then they shouldn't request for evaluated high school record, that is for only freshmen (who has never taken any college level course). As a transfer student, you just need your transcripts to transfer your courses. 1 Like 1 Share |

@Michelleflores. If you have the strength for a legal battle, I encourage you to make a lawsuit. If the agent is a registered business under the cooperate affairs commission, they must be forced to repay, so long as you have all the evidence of payment and other documentation. and the biz can even be closed down. Using a stolen card to operate, I wonder how many people they have done this to. I know you must have invested heavily in the course of this endeavor. These agents are causing a lot of harm than good. no wonder embassy call them touts... 1 Like |

Michelleflores: This agent/tout has to be sued and should repay all that you invested in this endeavor. He used a stolen card. A great offence. Your Visa is now invalid because your SEVIS was terminated and you withdrew your application [visa] for entry. Student visa is a spectacular type of visa. You will need to start afresh and appear for a new interview. It's a pity dear. Goodluck |

femi321: Yes, whether you are the one sending the dollar, or the one receiving the naira, both people face a similar faith. In this situation, we are equal because the money involved is valued equal. What if I send my naira and at the end didn't receive your dollar? There has to be a mutual trust for the deal to be sealed. How can you be in need of naira, and you ask me to send my naira first before sending your dollar. No, I wont. You are the one in need at the moment, so you make the move first. Anyway it's a matter of mutual trust as I said. 1 Like |

kokoboy4life: It is very normal. WES can never evaluate your transcript without its verification from the issuing institution. To expedite the process, go to your school and keep in touch with them, informing them the recent devt. After the verification, WES will continue with the evaluation. |
