WES would shoot your GP around 3.5 I think.
This FCSA no try atall

I was looking for a cheap evaluation company. So I chose the $140 over the $205 of WES.

Okay. I used foreign credential service of America (FCSA) and my 4.25 came out as 3.29. I guess the cheaper the evaluation company, the less tendency for your result to increase the more. I used FCSA cos it was just $140 and they don't require official transcript so I just scanned and sent to them. I regretted it tho and next time I'll use WES for PhD application.

I spent $470 on IERF and their service is still crap, I could not even get a student copy of my evaluation because it was sent through USPS I had to pay an extra $75 to have it posted to Nigeria through TNT bringing by total cost to $545, it is safe to assume I will not be using them again

Guys I booked to fly to JFk arriving at night, my connecting flight is the next day (6:30am). Can I get a cheap hotel close to JFk? Cuz I dont want to go far from the airport then miss my flight...
Re: General U.s.a (student) Visa Enquiries-part 9 by Mekurexx: 12:36pm On Jun 02, 2016
IERF is the best (quote me anwyhere). $165. $50 first copy, $20 afterwards. And their customer service is great, they ALWAYS REPLY emails on time. I used them and I was glad I did

To get a tracking delivery you pay more, same as I-20 regular mail delivery. I used IERF and I was really impressed. You stay in Lag yeah? You could have chilled, mine took roughly 4wks, It wasnt easy waiting trust me. then for a second sch, it arrived in 2wks. Maybe you had extra $$$ thats why you paid that much.

When at night? If the time between your landing and your connecting flight is less than 8 hrs you do not need an hotel, the airport will do in my opinion. It will take like 3 hours after landing before clearing all checks, the queues at JFK is legendary and you will need at least an hour or so for checking in on your connecting flight... By and large you have just 3hrs to yourself content yourself with an airport 'bench' that is off course assuming an 8 hour gap

You read my mind and saved me from typing ........ JFK queues you can never predict and it can be very long . I would roam around in the airport . yes you will be exhausted by the time you arrived but at least you are not tensed and worried about missing your flight

Bsc alone... Evaluation $200 , next day service $200 , next day Air courier to 2 schools $35 * 2 , international courier to Lagos $75... Money grubbing agency that IERF

All things being equal if there are no delays, the gap is almost 10hrs. I could use the airport if I can get food and maybe there is wifi.

Hello all, I really need your help regarding this immunization form required by US universities. Immunization for hepatitis, MMR, hpv varicella. I have no record of MEASLES (MMR), HEPATITIS etc. Please advice
If you can't take it in Naija, when you take it here, your medical insurance will cover the bills
