ss0112 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Does anyone have any experience with getting the official report for the "International Evaluation of Education and Credentials"? I went to McGill University (Montreal, Canada) for my undergrad and am not sure if my school is exempt from needing a report and if not, how I would go about obtaining one! TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ss0112 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I actually just gave them a call and they say that it is waived for my school! For anyone else wondering: I'm not sure about other Canadian universities, but I'm assuming it would be the same policy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkhyl Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I just received my acceptance from NYU today with a 15k per year scholarship. I'm on the Shanghai/NYC pathway. I'm going to commit as it was the only grad school I applied to. Good luck everyone! doctormelody 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applied literally on Christmas Day but one of my letters of recommendation did not come until two days before the application deadline. My stats: 3.7 overall GPA / 3.9 GPA in my Sociology major I wrote a senior thesis on trauma informed care that also won an award. I interned at a DV shelter for one year, another internship at a low income housing non profit for 6 months, and I worked with an on campus organization for students from adverse childhood backgrounds for all four years of my undergraduate career. Overall, I focused really hard on my essay, it took me two months to write my essay. I edited it a million times and had it checked by my professors and close friends. I think MSW programs focus on the personal essay the most, along with experience. I made sure to write about my life and combined it with my love for social work and my experience in the field. I also currently live in South Korea and teach English here. I tied that into my desire to participate in the Shanghai/NYC pathway.

Hi @mswguy, congrats on the acceptance!! I was wondering, did you hear back via Email? Or did you have to check the application portal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddd777 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 have you guys received any emails from NYU? I received one email immediately after submitting my application saying that my application has been submitted. However, I haven't heard anything from them regarding the completion of my application or anything of the sort. I spoke to someone on the phone and they told me that my application is being reviewed and that they will need an official transcript eventually. IDK what that means.

Did you end up sending an unofficial copy of the transcript? That may be what they mean. If accepted most schools want an official unopened transcript from the school.

ddd777 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I uploaded an unofficial transcript because that's what the portal asked for. My portal shows that everything has been submitted and he said they would need an official copy if I was admitted into the school! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few days later I received an email as well! ss0112 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
