Wes vs ece. Original or copies of my certificates!

[Hobaboba]

Hi i heard that wes is better than ece for certificate accreditation. But as long as i understand, they need original certificates in sealed envelope. In my country, to issue original certificate it costs a lot of money. Any one used wes with copies? Or anyone used ece and liked the service?

I used ECE because the school I am going to apply to accepts ECE evaluations. I was satisfied with their services. It took only two or three weeks to get the results back, and it was cheaper compared to WES. I sent them the copies of my Diplomas with transcripts and the copy of my high school certificate. The requirements for the submitted documents may be different, depending on the country where you studied. So, check their site to make sure what the requirements are for your country. I'll need to provide the original documents with the evaluation to my school. ECE did not require my original documents.

 

I would first check what evaluation services your school or a place you are going to submit your documents to accepts. If it accepts either one, I would consider ECE, as it is accepted by most of the US schools, it is reasonably quick, less expensive, and they do not require your original transcripts.

Thanx a lot. Did u order only one copy of the report? I mean that extra copy cost 10 doller if ordered when we submit. But after that , it cost more. Do universities accept copies or original of ece report?

Can u tell me the steps of application? We have to fill the form online then print it and put it in envelope with copies of our transcripts right!

If you are applying to several schools, you'll need to ask for additional copies of your evaluation report. I didn't order any copies as I'm applying only to one school.

 

 

While filling out the application for the ECE evaluation service, you'll need to mention the school(s) where you're going to send your report to. You'll need to check the requirements with your school(s) as to whether they accept copies of it or not. The requirements may differ depending on the school. Some of the schools may do their own evaluations, so make sure you know what the school(s) you are applying to require. 

 

After you know what service you need (WES or ECE), just go to their web site, choose the type of the report you need and follow the instructions.
