Hello, I’m an international student from El Salvador and I’m intending to apply to Harvard this year. In their website it doesn’t states clearly if they need, recommend or doesn’t care about the WES evaluation of my transcripts, so if someone knows, please help! (Also, how much time does it REALLY takes to have the evaluation? Because I’ve read in many posts that it takes almost a month, and I’m going to apply early, so I don’t want to lost the opportunity if I sent it too late!)
Harvard doesn’t ask for an evaluation. (Universities that want an evaluation will point that out each time they mention transcripts for international students.)
Generally speaking, most colleges and universities with a large international student body have the in-house expertise to interpret foreign transcripts and don’t ask for external evaluations (by WES or other organizations).
Thank you very much for your help!
