| What is the WES (World Education Services) requirement for International students? |
|
| International students applying to IST College Graduate programs may be required to submit a course-by-course WES evaluation of their foreign transcripts to be considered for admission into an IST graduate program. Applicants will be notified when it is required. WES evaluations provide uniform translations of various grade scales/systems as well as equivalency reports that the iSchool Admissions Board uses when reviewing their applicants for admission as well as for Course Transfer and Pre-Req Waivers. Information on WES is available through their website: http://www.wes.org

| How do I know I need a WES Evaluation? |
|
International applicants who have sent original, final transcripts from their schools to the iSchool at Drexel University will have those transcripts considered for GRE waivers, year equivalency and grade point average though the iSchool Graduate Admissions office. If satisfactory translation is not possible, then the WES evaluation will be required by the iSchool Graduate Admissions Office and made known to the applicant through a status email.
Applicants are welcome to submit a WES evaluation of their foreign degrees for admission consideration right away if they choose.
