ENEB Master Thread

He still has the equivalent of a US Bachelor's degree, but with a GPA of 0, which means it can't continue to be used as a pre-requisite for applying for a Master's degree, as there is no corresponding GPA score, and it completely becomes something similar to ACE credits.

There is a difference between a GPA of 0 and a GPA which the foreign credit evaluator claims they can't score. Any GPA of 0 is easily refuted by showing the original transcript to the school you are applying for and proving you did get a grade and credits for those classes - the original grades should have been included in the official FCE report as well. Additionally, if it were a true 0 GPA, you would not the evaluation result of a finished degree because 0 would mean a fail.

I have a European Bachelor's, which used a pass/fail system, and the country has official ways to translating those grades to the American A B C system. WES USA did not follow the country's recommendations for grade equivalency, and instead stated my GPA could not be evaluated, thus the GPA ended up as an asterisk or 0 for each pass/fail course, in the "US equivalent" column next to the column full of my original grades. There is literally a sentence in the official report stating the GPA could not be evaluated. But that "0" or "*" GPA did not stop me from being able to use the degree to get into two US schools at the Master's level.
