Sorry if this has been asked before but I'm getting mixed answers from various sources!
For any Canadians out there wanting to apply to US veterinary colleges (thinking of a few UK/Australia/West Indies ones also), do you know if we have to submit our transcript to the foreign transcript evaluation services e.g. WES?
I know on the VMCAS instructions, it says Canadians do not. But I've called a few schools' admissions office and some of them say I do (But I have a feeling some of them are wrong ). I am really hoping that I don't have to (so expensive! )
But if I don't, how would I know how to self-report my grades on VMCAS application and each school's supplemental applications? FYI, my school reports letter grades on the transcripts. If I was self-reporting, am I supposed to just input whatever letter grade appears on my transcript?
Some admission offices I've called have said that they cannot give me a conversion guide unless they actually see my transcript and some schools have told me to just follow the regular 4.00/letter grade scale.
This GPA conversion is really driving me crazy I would really like to know how my grades would be converted so I can at least get a sense of what my GPA would be compared with accepted students, without having to submit my transcript for a $160 evaluation. If anyone has any experience with this, please help!
