Can I choose either one of WES/ECC to use ?

Hi, I've heard that the calculating systems that each service uses to convert the foreign GPAs are different.

However, only some of the school's web sites mention about WES. 😕

If either one of the two systems is advantageous, can I just CHOOSE wich one I'm going to use when I'm reporting my GPA ?

Thanks in advance, dudes... 🙂

Some schools accept both WES and ECE. BUT most schools accept only ECE. So pick your poison...wisely.

Thanks.. for the advice ! 😀
Can anyone answer this, plz ? I found many of the indian dental students (since most of the applicants that I've seen are from Inda) have very good GPAs.
What % from the top do you have to be at to achieve, ... say 3.5 ?? in Inda ?
I'm a student from Korea and wow some of the grades like 3.7~3.8 are the ones I can't even imagine that I can reach... ( may be the top of the class would have something like 3.6 )
These are all out of total 4.0 aren't they?
I know all the Indian doctors are very smart and intelligent, and that's probably why I see so many people with good grades, but do you think there is a grading difference that makes larger number of students get higher GPA s, compared to schools in my country ?
After deciding to study in america, I got really concerned about my low GPA. May be it's that I didn't do hard enough during my school. I wish I had good grades like you ! 🙂

go to the schools website where u want to apply..most of them need course by course evaluation from ECE, some might take WES, but it depends on what the school needs.

Good Luck

Hi guys,

I came to know that GPAs by WES evaluation are more than that of ECE.
eg: if one get gpa by ECE - 3.2, same gets 3.8 OR even MORE by WES.

My doubt is some schools are accepting both wes n ece, then those who got ece will have less gpa than those of WES (though their credentials are low according to ECE), don't you guys think it will be a prob for us.

Do schools consider the gpa according to the type of evaluations like wes or ece or simply they look at the grade that we have?? 😕
If it is "yes" then should we go for both the evaluations???🙁
Any input will be appreciated...

Yes, it is out of 4.0

But do not think that all Indian Dentists achieve that high level. I am Indian too and we were evaluated on a scale of 200 and 75%= 150/200 was considered a very high achievement.

I dont know exactly how the evaluations are done, and what exactly they consider.

But dont break your head too much about GPA. A low GPA can be compensated w/ high NBDE score, a good resume, great essay among the others.

Thank you for the reply Le fea.
I guess I'll do my best in the other scores, from now on !
Good luck to you, too !! 🙂

La fea and other forum members,
please tell me wat % from Indian universities, would yield atleast 3 ?

I wonder how many end up with 75% , which means a distinction with honours . What about people who score slightly less than 70% ?

I really dont know.
My Indian over all % is less than 70 and yet my GPA is 3.83 but my buddy's GPA 3.56 and his % was slightly more then mine.
Go figure😕😱

Actually dont. GPA can't be changed. So you are better off worrying about other things- NBDE, TOEFL etc.
