mustangs97 Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hi All, I am planning to go on exchange if possible for the fall 2019 semester. I have considered universities in Australia, Singapore, UK, and USA (through NSE). However, I am also planning on applying to physiotherapy programs during that cycle. Does anyone have any experience with the process of getting transcripts and inputting grades to ORPAS and the schools themselves? I am just worried that the transcripts won't come in on time. Thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjfried Posted November 2, 2018 Report Share Posted November 2, 2018 Hey there! I went on exchange to Australia in Winter Term 2016 and I am also planning on applying. Western had told me that IF they fall into my last two years I would have to include a WES evaluation and send them that AND the transcripts. Found here: https://www.wes.org/ca/ I know Australia (at least Griffith) has an express Transcript service that only takes a week but costs about $50 on top of the transcript fee. I am unsure as to how that will work though, as after exams they need time to mark, make grades official etc. But then again Australia's school system is a little different. Like I remember that my schooling didn't start until February as our winter is their "summer" so maybe they have a longer break before Christmas?. It took me a lot to find how they will translate the grades if they use them and I am still pretty unsure as to how it will work. But I am pretty sure that a 7 (highest in Australia) is a 4.0 here and a 6 is a 3.3. I would honestly contact both the school that you want to apply to for PT AND also your home university/ exchange school. WES evaluations may take awhile on top of all of that. If you have any questions about Australia or any more about what I plan on doing with my exchange transcript let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
