cinntsp Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 You will have to have your transcript evaluated by a service that handles that to see if there is any equivalency in the US. [h=3]Q: I attended a foreign school. What do I send to CASPA?[/h]A: The majority of CASPA programs require applicants to submit official foreign transcripts to an approved foreign transcript evaluation service for a course-by-course U.S. equivalency report. Arrange for these evaluations to be sent directly to CASPA from the foreign transcript evaluation agency. Contact the foreign transcript evaluation service as early as possible. The services may take several weeks to process your foreign transcript once it is received.PLEASE NOTE: You MUST read each physician assistant program's instructions for submitting documentation of foreign coursework. These instructions can be found on individual program web sites. Please refer to the Participating Programs page for a link to individual program web sites. Above all, DO NOT SEND YOUR FOREIGN TRANSCRIPTS TO CASPA.Below is a list of common services used by CASPA applicants for the translation and review of foreign transcripts. Please note that this list is not all-inclusive and CASPA does not recommend or endorse any particular service. You should check with your designated programs for final approval on which service you should use.World Education Services, IncP.O.
