<p>any intl here who got an email by GTech asking you to send a course-by-course evaluation of your high school transcript..?
what are u oding abt it?</p>
<p>doing*. . .</p>
<p>hey i just did....i had my fingers crossed but then it appeared in my inbox today!!...damn i dun believe i am gonno spend Rs 10K more on this s h i t...</p>
<p>prachi hav u already sent ur app for external eval??</p>
<p>dude its abt 480 $ .. 120 for each of the 4 high school yrs..
thats 20k!</p>
<p>naa havent yet.. they gave me a notice in BIG RED BOLD letters telling me that i should do the eval before 27th of this month..</p>
<p>n hey.. happy valentines!</p>
<p>hey happy valentines!!....what a nice gift i have got from gatech!!....anyways its NOT $ 480 i am sure....i have checked it up with a guy who has sent it....the total will touch $ 200 for us i think.... $ 120 for course-by-course eval + $ 30 for GPA eval + $ 50 for 5 day rush report (which i think will be necessary for us to meet the deadline)....and the frigging courier charges are extra...anyways i am gonno call up the Director of Admissions tonight....i am sure gonno argue long with him and i might as well give him a "dhamki" of withdrawing my app!!....man i can't tell you how much anger i have inside me due to this s h i t....so if at all i am sending my app to Silney bast ard it will be tomorrow....</p>
<p>so what are ur reaosns for not sending it the silney bastards? i think ill do the same.. more ppl more pressure to withdraw this IDIOTIC idea..</p>
<p>n it is 120$ for one year.. they want the evaulation for all 4 of your high school yrs.. so then its 120*4=480 plus rush reporting... y do u need that GPA eval.. gatech hasnt asked for that!</p>
<p>hey where did u get that figure from?? my friend just sent $ 120 for course-by-course eval...i also called up jsilney and they said that $ 120 is for 4 high school years....also in the mail i have recieved they have mentioned about gpa eval...here it is:-</p>

<p>-------- A course-by-course evaluation with GPA from a professional foreign credited evaluator. This evaluation is mandatory for all non-US coursework for all students.</p>
<p></p>
<p>ok an update in the gatech's freak email...i called up the assisstant director admisions and she just totally refused to do away with the external eval....she said that they incorporated this system this year so that they can analyse every intel on the same basis....and then i called up silney associates to check up when my eval will actually reach gatech...they said that evaluations are done only on weekdays and then after that they post the evaluations to the mentioned universities by REGULAR MAIL which might take 3-4 days more!!! A$$ HAULS!!....if you want them to send by express mail then u will have to include an "Express Mail Envelope"....so i think even 5 day- rush report won't work for us...we will have to select 2 day-rush reports to make the deadline....please tell me what u r going to do....</p>
<p>hi.. yea it is course by course AND GPA eval.. my bad</p>
<p>herz teh email i sent teh adcom:</p>
<p>Hello sir,
For which high school year would you like the course-by-course evaluation? Is there any substitution for not submitting it at all?
Thank you for your concern.
Regards,
Prachi Vakharia

<pre><code>Prachi,
Thank you for your application for admission to Georgia Tech. In order
for your application to be complete Georgia Tech needs a
course-by-course with GPA evaluated transcript from an outside agency.
We recommend Josef Silny and Associates, www.jsilny.com. All student
who study in a foreign country under a non-american school must submit
this course-by-course evaluation. If you have already submitted this
information to Josef Silny for evaluation please let me know.
Feel free to contact me with any question you may have about this
requirement.
Sincerely,

<p>doesnt this mean that we have to do teh eval for all 4 high school years not just the 12th grade?</p>
<p>D</p>
<p>anyways thnx for the update!
p.s. howd ur day go?</p>
<p>haha u dun wanna know!!.... been movin around and calling ppl the whole day due to this frigging s h i t !! ....nothing special at all....anyways how did urs go??</p>
<p>so r u finally sending ur transcripts to jsilney?? when??</p>
<p>well i have decided....i am not going to spend $300 for this piece of ****....i could very well followed this procedure after acceptance....but not before it..its just not worth it i guess...wat r u doing??</p>
<p>Hi people!
I have applied to Gatech for Fall 2006 for the Computer Engg. program and have already paid for the Silny evaluation.</p>
<p>The fee is $120 only, not $120*4. You have to send the transcripts of class IX, X, XI and XII after getting the photocopies attested from Director of USEFI.</p>
<p>My evaluation was completed on 14th February and it would be reaching Tech in 3-4 days...</p>
<p>All the best to you...</p>
<p>definitely dexter not paying.. no college can rob the students like this with this kind of stupid procedure.. how are they the only college oof the many hundreds in the us who find it tough to judge a person's credentials and need them converted to the american system...
and why do they have to tell this to us after we have wasted a whole application on them..</p>
<p>^^ok firstly if ut hink of it from their point of view its really necessary because a lot of people get fake report cards(since u have to get them accredited from usefi..not possible anymore) and plus since they're not asking for subject tests u knida have to show them what uve done so far is right for engineering
and if ur serious about getting in...my advice is get your evaluation completed asap...they WILL NOT admit u without it
and its 120(course by course)+30(gpa)+10(addn report)=US$160</p>
<p>yeah thats why i said that if they were so hasseled by the fake transcripts they could have called for evaluation AFTER acceptance....try being in our place for a second...we pay $ 300 right now...we are not sure whether the evals will reach gatech in time and they won't create a fuss....even then they can easily rejject you n say you were not qualified....won't u be pulling ur hair out then??....and btw we had to pay $ 100 extra for rush reporting so as to barely make the deadline...</p>
<p>^^You have no idea about what happened to me and sid_falcon!!</p>
<p>We had sent our transcripts to WES (<a href="http://www.wes.org%5B/url%5D">www.wes.org</a>) for evaluation as was mentioned on the GATECH site, but after completeing our evaluation we were informed that WES does not do Course-By-Course for Undergrad students, they did a Document-By-Document instead, and Gatech refused to accept them. SO we had to again shell out $160 to get them evaluated from Silny. Ive spent $370 on applying to Georgia Tech!!</p>
<p>if gatech doesnt accept them then why did they even post the companys name on their website..</p>
<p>Precisely!!</p>
<p>And when we contacted them, they removed it from their website!</p>
