Hi Ian,
I am upset because WES did not even give me an Associate's Degree but
only "2 years undergrade study"...The meaning is it is like I did not
graduate but just attended 2 year college, there is a HUGE difference
between GRADUATION and ATTENDANCE (unless I do not understand English!
That is possible too...).
Besides that, it is well known that European degree (including France)
are not bad when it comes to the study contents.
Anyone else has experienced credential evaluatiob by WES ???
