Cosc Woes

[candothis]

Hi guys

I sent in my application to COSC and TESC recently after much apprehension and debate.

Well I heard back from COSC today that IN ADDITION to the ECE transcripts that I already sent them, they want the OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS IN A SEALED ENVELOPE from my university in Pakistan:eek: .

Hello:mad: - I thought that this is what I paid ECE $164 to do, ie evaluate my degree for admission to US colleges. The ECE transcipts have been accepted by two B&M colleges here in the US. So WHY is COSC requiring me to go thru this hassel now?

BTW I asked the lady if I can cancel my application -since the evaluation has NOT YET taken place and GUESS WHAT??
No luck on that either. It says on the application that it is a NON REFUNDABLE $75 fees. I knew that when I was going in but com'on this is pure headache for me. Please HELP!
Any advice on how to go about this. I might as well just have applied to TESC since they are fine with ONLY the ECE transcripts.
Thanks for letting me vent

as much as it be a hassle getting the university of Pakistan transcript, they usually need the original transcript just as a comparison of the results ECE sent them. Like for record keeping purposes. try not to look at it as a bad thing.

COSC is a very helpful school overall. I'm sure that this is a matter of policy for them. It may be that since they are in a different region for accreditation from EC and TESC, they have to do things a different way. Or perhaps Connecticut's state university system requires things to be done that way.

Please don't sell them short as a viable option over this matter. The college is truly small (I've been there in person), and they have always treated me as a student, never a customer. That's a feeling I didn't get from the other non-traditional schools that I looked at.

If it matters to you, they accepted as many credits as I hoped they would, and encouraged me to take exams rather than courses for some remaining subjects. How's that?
