Applying to us college

<p>Hey guys,i have a couple of questions for you international students
What kind of translations to US colleges usually accept?
What did you do to translate all of your high school transcripts?
What happens with my graudation Diploma(i get it in late june,senior year)?
Thank you very much!</p>

<p>For your graduation diploma, you’ll only have to send your final scores to the school where you’re intending to study (given the fact that it admitted you in december/april). Meanwhile, you’ll have to send them your transcript, mid-year report and school report (plus the intl. supplement). For more information on that matter, just check the websites of the schools that interest you.</p>

<p>I still haven’t translated anything but I intend to ask my english teacher to do it (read it was ok) or the people in the commission for educational exchange. You could also ask for a “real” interpret but I guess money would have to be involved…</p>

<p>I translated my transcripts myself and my principal certified that the translation was correct. None of the colleges I was applying to seemed to have a problem with it.</p>

<p>b@r!um : What did you do for the translation of your letters of rec. ?</p>

<p>I didn’t need them translated because my teachers wrote them in English ;)</p>

<p>barium,Cool!i was thinking of doing that.I have a friend that is a translator.Is it ok if i translated them then asked her to verify them and then go to my principal to verify them again?Will universities accept that?</p>

<p>Hum, I don’t know but… it seems rather inefficient… if you know a translator, why don’t you just let him do the job ?</p>

<p>Translation/interpretation is more of an art than a science. It is a good idea to double-check the work.</p>
