<p>Hey so I did my high school in India (CBSE board) and I was wondering for the final year transcripts, do we send the Board Exam mark sheet or the final exam we took in school?
If its the board exam mark sheet, does anyone have any idea when they will be issued? I mean, results come out at the end of may but when do we receive the official document? </p>

<p>In the United States, the academic record is called a “transcript.” It may be called by another name, such as a leaving certificate, maturity certificate, bachillerato or baccalauréat in your country.</p>
<p>Applying as a Freshman</p>
<p>To be considered for admission to UC Berkeley, international applicants must:
• finish secondary school and
• earn a certificate of completion, which allows admission to a university in their home country or country of graduation</p>
<p>In addition:</p>
<p>Students who have completed the IGCSE or O-level exams have not yet met the requirements for admission evaluation at UC Berkeley. The university requires further study, either completion of the 2-year A-level program with a minimum of 3 academic exams, the IB diploma program, or another similar academic curriculum. (Most A-Level students who apply to UC Berkeley anticipate receiving A marks on their exams.)</p>
<p>Students from countries requiring entry into military service upon completion of secondary education should not submit an application until the obligation has been met. UC Berkeley cannot defer admission to a later term.</p>
<p>Language Requirements</p>
<p>Proficiency in English is critical to success at UC Berkeley. One of the following exams is required of all international applicants from non-English-speaking countries:</p>
<p>International English Language Testing System (IELTS) - a score of 7 or higher on the academic module or
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) - a score of 80 or higher on the TOEFL iBT or 550 or higher on the paper-based exam
Language exam results must be received in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions no later than January prior to the fall semester in which the student wishes to enroll. Our code is 4833, same as the SAT. Please contact TOEFL to confirm when your test scores are mailed to campuses.</p>
<p>Financial Documentation</p>
<p>Before a U.S. consul will grant a visa, you must prove that you will have sufficient money to meet all your expenses while studying in the United States. You must explain the source of your funds and guarantee that you will receive them while at UC Berkeley.</p>
<p>Unless you are able to provide written evidence demonstrating you have adequate financial resources for the entire time needed to complete your degree program, the consul will not grant a student visa.</p>
<p>If your country’s government limits the amount of money that may be sent to its students in the United States, you should make sure that funds will be available.</p>
<p>When you leave your country, you must have enough money to:</p>
<p>pay for traveling expenses to UC Berkeley
pay fees for the entire term
meet living expenses until more money reaches you
pay the return fare to your home
If your country’s government requires verification of enrollment before money can be forwarded to you, you may request the campus International Student Advisor to provide verification after you have completed your UC registration. Some students assume, incorrectly, that additional financial assistance or part-time employment will be available. Each year many students find themselves in serious financial difficulties because they did not arrange for adequate support.</p>
<p>Student Visa Information</p>
<p>All admitted international students will be required to complete a Non-immigrant Information Form (NIF). A guarantee by the applicant’s financial sponsor proving sufficient funds for the first year of study is required. Upon receipt of the completed NIF, the Berkeley International Office (BIO) will issue the document needed for student visa application.</p>
