Applying to University? Get Your Credentials Evaluated
In order to enroll in a college or university in the US, it is very likely that you will be asked to provide a credential evaluation report.
One of the credential evaluation services that we recommend is Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE). You’ll be pleased to know that ECE has been a leading provider of credential evaluation reports for international students for 40 years. With a 95% satisfaction rating, you can take comfort in knowing that international students approve of ECE services. And, their reports are valid for five years, so while plans may be uncertain right now, you can take care of getting a credential evaluation so it’s ready when you are. To learn more about ECE, click the link below.
