Hello guys, visa was approved yesterday. I would have loved to give back to this great group more than what the group has offered me by sharing my transcript here but they did not ask me formal questions apart from what course am l going for in a friendly way and no documents asked for (...my best and easiest interview so far I must confess). I did not do the interview in Nigeria. You can ask me any question here or send me a message as I am ready to assist if it is within my reach. Thank you all and I wish everyone all the very best.

I left a comment here about GCE ( Global Credential EValuators) marking down my cgpa and giving me Fs in some places. Well, it turned out that the error was from Unilorin oooo so i urge you all to always ask to see your transcript for confirmation before it is sent to WES or any evaluation company you want to use. They were so nice, tried to save me money by asking the school to send the correct one via email, even told me to only pay for the delivery of another report to the school instead of paying another fee all over again but before all of these could be done, the school already gave me admission with the former report they sent.
Id totally recommend GCE guys, fast and amazing service tbh.
I had my transcript sent, evaluated and gained admission in less than 20 days!

Does GCE grading system reduce GPA? I already used Wes Free calculator to compute my result which is at 3.52 of 4. Do you know if GCE will reduce the grade points?
Thank you

Of course, you can.
Simply confirm if the amount that will cover for your one Academic year is still intact in the account.

If actually you have this SAT score, apply to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Meridian scholarship. It offer full ride that covers tuition, housing and board. You can do their interview via Skype if chosen as a finalists which I believe with your score, you will be chosen. Application deadline is December 1st, so the earlier you apply, the better. https://www.siue.edu/undergraduate/direct-entry-meridian/meridian-scholars-program.shtml
