low gpa

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
BOND,
Did you hear back from wes.I am worried about this too.I really think ,if they send it it mihgt take one hellova time.I dont think ece sends anything ,unless they have a doubt .There is no way that folks from India are going to respond unless they money to make.I dont even have anybody to run around ,if they were verifying.This is the first time I heard that.

I havent heard anything so far from Wes they said that they send a email to my univ and never got a reply back from them so then they mailed them my degree , My dad called the people back home to ask them about the degree and they as usal said that they will send it.So i am still waiting

Muscan i called them and said exactly the same things u said but after the few days i got a letter back that we r sorry for the invonvencie but it is going to take longer then 10 days. As far as notarized copies r concerned they said that since they have already send a email they will not accept thoes copies anymore.And they r not checking the mark sheets in my case they just want to verify the degree.
BBgun i will let u know as soon as i hear from them.If u r still thinking about getting the evaluation done send the documents and hopefully they wount send ur degree bak home

Bond,
If they try to verify anything ,all I can do is say"JAI HIND".The uni from which I graduated,is such a place that ,I had to pay the doorman even to step my foot in and that is despite having a letter from the registrar to meet him officially.So,you better be on top of things.

.....I called them and told them my marks over the phone and in a week i got my evaluation done,....

Perhaps this is the reason some institutions (such as ADA) don't rely on WES for credential evaluations.
What if someone lies about their grades? No offense to you Muscan or anyone.

thanks for information about gpa at wes.
last year my application was rejected from nyu and nova b'cos of low gpa
though i have 92 iinpart-1 and 85 in part-2
thanks
i hope i will get good gpa at wes
thanks
 
I agree with you .It is impossible to deal people sometimes.I cant believe they told you computers need to be updated.It is people and authority like this that gives a country bad name.I never could rationalize with such a statement from anybody.I wish all of us good luck with evaluations.This is just crazy .
 
hello, I have just received my ECE evaluation....I can not believe my GPA is 2.36 according to them. :mad:

I graduated from a southamerican dental school, with a gpa of 62 , was the top 1 of the class and got exceptional honors for my thesis dissertation..

During my studies at dental school I realized that 99% percent of the professors gave me a score of no more of 65/100 even if I was the best student in the class, they just though that even if you did your best, that was not enough for over 65...but the rest 1% of the professors were a little bit more fair and gave me better scores over 75 and 80, so now that I check on my ECE evaluation it seems that those classes that I 've got over 80 are the A's and B's, and all the classes that were under it are the C's ,and these are the most of them..... :( all this makes me think that maybe it would have been better to have all my classes scores under 65 so they would't used the higher score as parameters for the much lower scores and gave me LOTS of C's.
I do not know what to do next, I think I am going to send my credentials to WES and wait for the best, and try to contact ECE and see if they can review my report and come with a better gpa.
please help me and give and advice

My advice is go for WES.Right now a 3.08 GPA is just on the border,an increase by a margin of 0.5 may save the day for you.

Hi
Does anyone know what is the required GPA for NYU and Stonybrook
Regards
 
hey black bear,i'm sorry to hear about your g.p.a.evaluation,sometimes,these things just don't seem fair.....but i would definitely advise you to go for wes evaluation,if your gpa increases it will surely help you,you can try to call up ece and explain,don't know if that will really help,but no harm in trying....all the best
p.s. do make sure to make up by trying for a decent score,good recommendations,nice essay etc...all things are imp,not just gpa.
 
about nyu,i think they try to interview applicants with gpa of 3.0 and above,not sure about stonybrook,i personally know friends who had excellent scores but were not invited b'coz of low gpa,.......but key to getting in nyu is applying early...all the best

thank you mnm, I will follow you advise and send my credentials to wes, I called ECE but my evaluator seems to be never at work, so they have told me to call back on monday...we'll see what happens then..
I am studing as much as I can for the ndb, but my work schedule is making things harder, anyhow I will fight to the end.. ;)
 
So many threads and so many replies...but there is still one question which remains unanswered...Which one doesn't accept WES?? Many people have told me that a few don't..but not named them. Any idea guys?

Thank you Bond!!
 
I am so confused ! I remember in order to apply for National Dental Board , I asked to ECE for a report . This is not the GPA score?is it???
They are asking for these documents

Photocopies of official educational credentials issued in Spanish beginning with the final year of secondary school. Send those which apply to your educational history:

Certificado Oficial de Estudios (Official Certificate of Studies)
Bachiller (Bachelor)
Certificado de Educaci?n Superior (Certificate of Higher Education)
Diploma (Diploma)/ T?cnico (Tecnician)
Grado Acad?mico (Academic Degree)
T?tulo (Title)
Grado de Magister (Degree of Master)
Especialista (Specialist)
Grado de Doctor (Degree of Doctor)

plus:

Official academic transcripts or grade reports for any of the above credentials

At any time during the evaluation process, ECE reserves the right to request original documents and/or documents sent directly to ECE by issuing institutions.

English translations for each document submitted. You may prepare the translations yourself, as long as they are complete, literal, word-for-word, and in the same format as the Spanish language document.


A syllabus for all academic work completed beyond secondary school is required for any of the following types of evaluation reports: Subject Analysis, Catalog Match, or Health Professions Licensure.


That means I need to translate the syllabus (They are a lot!!)???Because we are applying for Health Professions Licensure?Can anybody help me please?
 
well baby teeth

When u apply for the NBDE u need the general evaluation from ece and then when u apply for advnace standing programm u need course by course evaluation at that time.So it is better to get both done right now.Well when u get the course by course evaluation done they will tell u ur GPA on that evaluation.
That means I need to translate the syllabus (They are a lot!!)???Because we are applying for Health Professions Licensure?Can anybody help me please?

U should call ece office and ask them the question directly .
R ur transcripts in spanish????????????????
 
Hey guys,
I too got my evaluation done at ece and got a GPA of 3.1.
After reading this thread I sent my documents to WES.I was pleasently surprised that my GPA is now 3.72.
From my experience,I encourage those who have low GPAs to go ahead and get your evaluation done through WES.
Good luck.
