Are there any special steps International Students should take in order to ensure their application is properly processed and reviewed?
• Please provide photocopies of your transcripts/credentials/GRE scores that we may use until official copies arrive. Once official copies arrive, your file will be updated. • Make sure your grades/GPA are translated to U.S. (4.0 scale). Please ensure that you provide photocopies of your transcript translation. You may wish to provide an explanation of the grading system utilized at your university/within your country of origin if it is very different from the U.S. scale and not easily translated. This is especially important if your bachelor’s degree was conferred from an accredited foreign university and not an American one. • Be sure that your Grade Point Average (GPA) is clearly stated on your attached credentials (Transcript translation, Curriculum Vitae, etc.) in both the School and Department copies of the application. • You may also wish to consult the International Students & Scholars Office website.
