I already have notarized transcripts, which you would have known if you had read my posts above clearly. My alma mater also doesn't issue notarized translations of the degree, just a translation provided in the graduation program. Again, my question was specifically about communicating with the university I am applying to.
Everyone else who replied to my post is clear about what I was asking. The title is clearly about an exemption (note the "talking myself out of" in the title).
You do seem rather hostile and patronizing, so I appreciate your decision to not participate any further in this thread. Instead of asking for clarifications or offering helpful suggestions, you offered contradictions and irrelevant advice that has nothing to do with the substance of the thread. Thank you for bowing out of the discussion.
