Foreign Transcript problems

[Venetia]

Both my undergraduate degrees are from institutions outside the US (Scotland and Ireland). While my undergraduate institution includes a translation of its marks into GPA format, my graduate one does not, and one program specifically said that I had to translate my transcripts into the 4.0 GPA format. Any ideas of companies that would do this? And fairly quickly? Thanks!

I've had similar problems. I'm an international student (Sweden), and our grading system doesn't even have a numerical value. Still, one program I applied to wanted me to convert it to 4.0 or some other numerical form. I contacted the program directly and they said to not worry about it; if it could be translated into a numerical scale, the admissions office would do so for them and I could just submit with a "N/A" written.

So I guess I'm saying that you should contact them directly and explain your situation, hopefully they'll understand
