We are still getting a lot of questions from our international applicants about transcripts. If you have attended a college or university outside of the United States, you will need to submit a basic course-by-course evaluation from WES (World Educational Services). You do NOT need to have your school send us an unofficial transcript. We do this for a number of reasons: helping the faculty gauge the equivalency of your university background compared with schools in the US, calculating the GPA for us, and preventing fraud. We understand that this is an extra expensive for our international applicants and appreciate your compliance with this policy.
