Best Foreign Credentials Evaluator Service

[durain]

Hey everyone,

I'm almost done with my courses at Metropolia UAS and am just waiting to get my grade for one course. Once that's done, I'm going to use a foreign credentials evaluator service to get my credits at TESU.

I wanted to know what you all think is the best evaluation service/company to be most likely to get the best evaluation possible? I think getting a 1:1 credit evaluation would be best just to have the 3 ECTS courses converted to 3 credits and because if they evaluate to too many credits, TESU may not accept the courses for credit without a syllabus (based on a post that I saw in the XAMK thread) and saw here that ACEI has issued some pretty favorable evaluations in the past with XAMK.

I also see people often recommend SpanTran and IEE (although TESU doesn't accept IEE) and to avoid WES and ECE if possible on the ENEB Master Thread.

I basically have these choices because I confirmed that Metropolia can send these transcripts directly to the evaluators, unlike XAMK. I'm leaning towards ACEI just because of what people have posted here, but please do let me know what would be the best option and if anyone has had any other experiences they'd like to share, provided that it's an evaluation service that TESU accepts.

Also, if I do choose ACEI and have Metropolia send the transcripts directly to them, I don't understand how to do the process. Would I have to complete the general application on ACEI's website and then have Metropolia send the documents or how would it work exactly?

Don't worry, I'll be sure to post the results of my evaluation as well so others can see what several courses evaluate to and how they may come in as credit for the TESU BACS. Thanks!

Metropolia UAS is a mainstream institute. Hence, WES or ECE should not have any unexpected issues.

My past experience with WES has been quite satisfactory. You can register with them, and they will provide the necessary instructions for sending Metropolia transcripts to them.

Another thing I noticed is that after WES evaluated my original transcripts, there is no need to send the same original transcripts to the university I am applying to anymore. Do check with ACEI to confirm if this is also the case.
