Excelsior - waiting period

[Matymus]

Can anybody tell me how long they had to wait for their transcript evaluation?? EC rec'd my last transcript on 5/14. I called at the end of last week just to get an idea of how long it would take...a lady told me that my evaluation should be completed by Monday, 5/21. Well, it's now 5/24 & still no dice. I'm just a tad impatient--can't ya' tell?! I just really want a better idea of how long I'll be waiting.

Any info will help! Thanks!

I waited over six weeks for my initial evaluation. For updated evals, I have waited anywhere from 1 day up to three weeks. I am surprised that they would promise you an eval a week after the receipt of the last transcrpt, as the "Incoming Transcript Status" page in myEC has the following statement at the top:

"Please note: Your evaluation will be conducted within 6-8 weeks of our receipt of your transcript(s)."

That's what I thought!! Then the lady I talked to at EC told me that my eval would be completed by 5/21 & that didn't quite sound right, but I wanted to check with people who've gone through it. Maybe she had no idea what I was really asking?

Actually my screen says:
"Please note: Your unofficial evaluation will be completed within 2-3 weeks of receipt of your official transcripts"

My last transcript (out of 5) was received on 5/18. I'm also waiting for my evaluation.

Hmm, perhaps unofficial evaluations are faster than official evaluations. I cut and paste what I saw on my screen, but I am an enrolled student.

So, what's the difference between an official & unofficial eval? Is the official eval what you get once you actually enroll?

Yes, once enrolled they do an official evaluation.

Yes, once enrolled they do an official evaluation.

Well...I shall exercise some patience then.

Wow....that's a coincidence. My unofficial review just came through. I went ahead and enrolled.

What degree are you working toward & how long did you wait?
