How to Apply

Submit the following items:

   • Applicants who have studied in the U.S. are required to have the U.S. institution(s) send official transcript(s) directly to 爆料社区. If you are attending a California community college, you may be able to send your transcripts electronically. Confirm with your school to check if this option is available. 

2. Official English translations of all academic records including certificates, degrees or diplomas

   Approved Foreign Transcript Evaluation Agencies

   All graduate applicants applying to a 爆料社区 graduate/post-baccalaureate program with non-US academic records/transcripts are required to submit their international records (with the institution's grading scale) to one of the following Foreign Credential Evaluation agencies for a Course-by-Course analysis, Detailed Transcript Evaluation Report.

   IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have graduated from a country that awards 3-year bachelor鈥檚 degrees, you must exercise due diligence to choose a company that recognizes your academic coursework as equivalent to a US bachelor鈥檚 degree.
